Congenital platelet disorders.
Congenital platelet disorders include thrombocytopathies and thrombocytopenias, which often occur in association. Thrombocytopathies constitute a model for exploring platelet physiology at the molecular level: adhesion, activation, release phenomena, aggregation. Further advances in understanding thrombocytopenias now require studies of medullary physiology. A better knowledge of these disorders is necessary to improve their management.
