Investigation of the genetic basis of the rare syndrome Post-Transfusion Purpura (PTP)

ABSTRACT: The Post-Transfusion Pupura (PTP) syndrome although rare has severe side effects for 5-10 cases per annum in the UK as a result of transfusion. High quality DNA has been isolated from either whole blood or from cryopreserved mononuclear cells of 4 patients in order to study our postulation that the condition is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in a specific gene.
