Abstract
Twelve Jordanian patients from 9 families with Glanzmann''s thrombasthenia are described. All of them are products of consanguineous marriages. All cases are children with varying severity of mucosal bleeding. The clinical and laboratory findings are described. The importance of consanguinity is discussed and emphasized. Glanzmann''s thrombasthenia is the 2nd most common inherited hemorrhagic disorder in Jordan.Keywords
