Immunofluorescence Blood Smear Analysis Validated for Diagnosing Inherited Platelet Disorders – JTH
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH) shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Carlo Zaninetti et al, published in JTH, adding:
”Interlaboratory Exercise on the Use of Immunofluorescence Microscopy on the Blood Smear for Recognizing Inherited Platelet Disorders: Communication from the ISTH SSC Subcommittee on Platelets in Health and Disease
This 7-laboratory validation study demonstrates that immunofluorescence-based platelet phenotyping on peripheral blood smears is a highly reproducible diagnostic tool for inherited platelet disorders, achieving consistent identification of conditions including MYH9-related disease, Bernard-Soulier syndrome, and Glanzmann thrombasthenia.”
