hematopoietic system
| N |
• normal platelet counts
(J:29151)
|
|
• although a normal number of dense granules stain with mepacrine, UV flashing is reduced by more than fivefold indicating an abnormal intragranular environment
|
|
• platelets nearly absent of dense granules
|
|
• platelet serotonin levels are less than 8% those of normal
|
|
• decreased aggregation both in the presence of high or low concentrations of collagen
|
|
• very little releasable ATP is detected when low or high levels of collagen are added to platelets from homozygotes
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• platelet serotonin levels are less than 8% those of normal
|
|
• decreased aggregation both in the presence of high or low concentrations of collagen
|
|
• very little releasable ATP is detected when low or high levels of collagen are added to platelets from homozygotes
|
|
• bleed time is greater than 15 minutes
|
cellular
|
• lysosomal enzyme levels are increased in kidneys and there is an associated decrease in secretion into the urine
• thrombin induced release of glucuronidase from platelets is decreased, although to a lesser degree than in mocha homozygotes, and thrombin induced release of galactosidase is 60% to 70% of normal
|
pigmentation
|
• although homozygotes do not have the giant granules that are found in the retinal pigment epithelial cells of beige mice, they do have enlarged retinal pigment granules
|
vision/eye
|
• although homozygotes do not have the giant granules that are found in the retinal pigment epithelial cells of beige mice, they do have enlarged retinal pigment granules
|
renal/urinary system
|
• higher than normal autofluorescence, typical of ceroid-like pigment, is found in proximal tubules
