Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia: About Us

  • Understanding Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT)

    Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) is an extremely rare, autosomal recessive blood disorder. In GT, the platelets lack GPIIb/IIIa, preventing fibrinogen bridging and significantly prolonging bleeding time. This condition can be life-threatening. Symptoms are similar to Bernard-Soulier Syndrome, with carriers experiencing bruising, nosebleeds, and bleeding in the mouth and gums.

  • Our Mission & History

    Glanzmann's Research Foundation is dedicated to:

    • Increasing awareness of Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
    • Providing a support network for families dealing with a GT diagnosis
    • Raising funds to find a cure for GT
  • Our Board Members

    Our board members, individuals from across the U.S. who have been personally affected by Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia, are the backbone of Glanzmann's Research Foundation. Meet these passionate advocates here!

  • 2023 GRF Educational Conference

    Join us at our first Educational Conference from July 26 to July 29, 2023, at the Cambria Hotel in Somerville, Massachusetts. This event is a proud initiative of the Glanzmann's Research Foundation.
