Bernard-Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is an inherited recessive bleeding disorder. In some instances, diagnosis might be restricted to routine blood exams, including bleeding time, prothrombin time (PT), and partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Exams such as platelet aggregation, and testing for expression of ristocetin cofactor, or von Willebrand factor may not be commonly performed. This leads to misdiagnosis in a number of patients, which are subsequently treated erroneously. Flow cytometry has been used widely as a tool in the diagnosis of leukemias, lymphomas, and many other immuno-hematological diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess whether flow cytometry could be helpful in the diagnosis of Bernard-Soulier Syndrome in Brazilian patients. For this, we examined a selected group of 15 patients with suspected BSS based on classical diagnosis. We used a panel of antibodies to detect the expression of glycoproteins GPIbalpha, GPIIb, GPIIIa, GPIX, as well as CD9. Abnormalities of GPIb and GPIX were observed in nine of the 15 patients, which included severe reduction of both antigens, of one or the other, or normal levels but weak expression. Strikingly, this abnormality correlated with severely reduced expression of CD9 in all cases. We discuss the implications for flow cytometric diagnosis of BSS.
