The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate a standardized method of screening for platelet signalling defects in patients with constitutional disorders of platelet function of unknown origin. We hypothesize that such defects are under-diagnosed in patients, due to heavy workup and requirement of relatively large blood sample by conventional biochemical methods. We propose to analyse kinase signalling downstream platelet membrane receptors using multiplex flow cytometry quantification and fluorescent platelet barcoding.
