Child Congenital Platelet Pathology

چکیده
Congenital platelet pathology refers to disorders of platelet function, the red cells being essential for the coagulation of blood.

The purpose of this study is to summarize current knowledge on the different types of inherited platelet disorders, their clinical and laboratory data, molecular genetic causes, and the therapies used in clinical practice.
