Caption
Researchers pinpointed the locations on the blood platelet receptor proteins affected by DNA variations that alter the receptor's amino acid building blocks, including those associated with the bleeding disorder Glanzmann thrombasthenia (green circles), those newly identified in the study (grey), and with other conditions (orange and magenta).
