Brief summary

The study aims to know the overall prevalence of granular deficits and their breakdown by type (anomaly of number, content or secretion) in a population of patients with hemorrhagic symptomatology after exclusion of other known causes. This study consists also to evaluate the association between the presence of a deficit in dense granules and (1) the intensity of the hemorrhagic phenotype (hemorrhagic score) (2) the nature of hemorrhages (post-operative, spontaneous, atypical...) -Evaluate the association between the type of deficit in dense granules and (1) the intensity of the hemorrhagic phenotype (hemorrhagic score) (2) the nature of hemorrhages (post-operative, spontaneous, atypical...)

Detailed description

Patients will be recruited during the exploration visit (v0) or the confirmation/typing visit (v1) according to their follow-up. * Exploration visit (v0): inclusion of patients without prior platelet exploration, and study of their dense platelet granules. * Confirmation/typing visit (v1): verification of the persistence of anomalies detected in patients with an abnormality identified during v0 (no later than 6 months after v0) and in patients for whom a dense granules anomaly has already been identified during their standard management prior to the start of the study. Completion of complementary examinations to complement the typing of the granular anomaly and molecular analysis for family cases

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Platelet response to different agonistsBaseline (M0)Us of some low-dose agonists such as ADP, epinephrine or collagen, which are particularly susceptible to granular defects, on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the patient's blood sample to be explored
Granular Delta contentBaseline (M0)Dosage of platelet serotonin by measuring platelet serotonin by HPLC.
Measurement of ATPBaseline (M0)The measurement is based on the principle of bioluminescence with a two-step transformation reaction of luciferin in the presence of luciferase, this reaction requiring the presence of ATP
Measurement of granules opacityBaseline (M0)Delta granules contain calcium, which makes them naturally opaque to electrons and thus allows their direct visualization in electronic microscopy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hemorrhagic risk assessmentBaseline (M0)Evaluation using the ISTH score
Typage of delta granules anomaliesAt 6 monthsFib-SEM technic by focussed ion beam scanning which allows a 3D reconstitution of the platelets and thus to visualize any empty granules
Genetic anomalies of delta granulesAt 6 monthsSequencing on a broad set of genes involved in platelet function. Bioinformatic analysis is carried out using BWA-MEM software (Alignment on the genome version HG19)
Prothrombin consumptionBaseline (M0)Evaluated by% of residual Thrombin after plasma coagulation
