Gray Platelet Syndrome is a storage pool disorder in which the alpha granules are missing in the platelets. Delta Storage Pool Deficiency is a storage pool disorder that involves missing dense granules. Qualitative platelet disorders are autosomal disorders and can therefore occur in both males and females. An autosomal dominant inheritance pattern means that the disorder will occur when the affected gene is inherited from either parent. An autosomal recessive inheritance pattern means that the disorder will occur only when the gene is inherited from both parents.
Treatments vary but generally involve the use of platelet transfusions.
It is very important that all of your health care providers are aware that you have a platelet disorder. Special precautions may need to be taken before you undergo any invasive or surgical procedure including dental or oral procedures. Additionally, it is important to keep all immunizations , including hepatitis A and B up to date. This information is not a tool for self-diagnosis or a substitute for professional care.
