A Case Report of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome
Hermansky-Podlock Syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by major defects in protein trafficking. HPS is characterized by ocular cutaneous albinism, the absence of dense platelet granules, and the resulting bleeding diathesis. Therefore, due to the rarity of Hermansky-Podlock syndrome, the aim of the present study was to report a case of this disease.
