Bleeding and platelet disorders
Gene: BLOC1S5This gene is associated with a phenotype in OMIM but not Gene2Phenotype. Based on the new reports there is now enough evidence for this gene to be promoted to Green. This gene should be promoted to Green at the next GMS review.Created: 7 Nov 2023, 1:17 p.m. | Last Modified: 7 Nov 2023, 1:17 p.m.

- PMID: 32565547 (2020) - Patient 1 (20 years old) was initially diagnosed only with oculocutaneous albinism, but secondarily reported mild bleeding diathesis characterised by easy bruising and infrequent episodes of epistaxis and gingival bleeding. Patient 2 (39 years old) reported menorrhagia and excessive blood loss after deliveries and surgery. Further analyses documented in both patients a lack of detectable platelet dense granules, concomitant with mildly impaired activation-induced ATP release and platelet aggregation in vitro.Created: 7 Oct 2020, 11:22 a.m. | Last Modified: 7 Oct 2020, 11:22 a.m.

2 unrelated patients with mild oculocutaneous albinism, moderate bleeding diathesis, platelet aggregation deficit, and a dramatically decreased number of platelet dense granules, all signs compatible with HPS. Identified distinct homozygous variants in the BLOC1S5 gene (patient 1: deletion of exons 3 and 4, patient 2: 1-bp deletion in exon 4). Parental segregation confirmatory in patient 1, quantitative PCR analysis confirmatory in patient 2).
Functional tests performed on platelets of one patient displayed an absence of the obligate multisubunit complex BLOC-1, showing that the variant disrupts BLOC1S5 function and impairs BLOC-1 assembly. Expression of the patient-derived BLOC1S5 deletion in nonpigmented murine Bloc1s5-/- melan-mu melanocytes failed to rescue pigmentation, the assembly of a functional BLOC-1 complex, and melanosome cargo trafficking, unlike the wild-type allele.
Pathogenic variants in the genes encoding three other BLOC-1 subunits (DTNBP1, BLOC1S3, and BLOC1S6) underlie HPS types 7, 8, and 9 respectively.
