Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 5 (HPS5) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the HPS5 gene. It is one of several types of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a group of disorders where affected individuals experience issues related to abnormal organelle function within their cells. This condition has been catalogued under recognized medical identification systems such as OMIM and GARD. However, detailed descriptions of the symptoms and the full range of its clinical presentation are not extensively available in the provided sources, so further specialized literature would be needed for a complete picture.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.
