An autosomal dominant condition caused by mutation(s) in the GFI1B gene, encoding zinc finger protein Gfi-1b. It is characterized by a tendency for increased bleeding due to abnormal platelet function.
Features include always present findings: Abnormal bleeding tendency (abnormal bleeding), Prolonged bleeding time, Absence of alpha granules, and Macrothrombocytopenia and others. 16 total HPO annotations.

GFI1B encodes growth factor independent 1B transcriptional repressor (330 aa). Essential proto-oncogenic transcriptional regulator necessary for development and differentiation of erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages. Highest expression in Testis (5.5 TPM) and Whole Blood (3.3 TPM).
Platelet-type bleeding disorder 17 is caused by mutations in the GFI1B gene on chromosome 9.
GFI1B is classified as a druggable target (Kinase, Transcription Factor, and Transcription Factor Complex categories) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for GFI1B is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
