Description

Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease consisting of oculocutaneous albinism, a platelet storage pool defect and, in some patients, lysosomal accumulation of ceroid lipofuscin. Other manifestations include pulmonary fibrosis (often fatal in the fourth or fifth decade), chronic granulomatous colitis and, rarely, renal involvement or cardiomyopathy. There exist 10 different genes known to cause HPS, but only HPS-2 and HPS-10 have a basic defect whose mechanism is known, i.e., defective subunits of a coat protein, adaptor complex-3, responsible for intracellular ...

Eligibility criteria

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Subjects with HPS age 1-80 years are eligible to enroll in this protocol.
  • The diagnosis of HPS is based upon a paucity or deficiency of platelet dense bodies on whole mount electron microscopy or the identification of pathogenic variants in HPS genes by genetic testing. Some subjects who have not been diagnosed with HPS may be admitted to the protocol based upon the presence of albinism and a platelet storage pool deficiency.
  • Most female subjects who participate in the Obstetrics/Gynecology Questionnaire will be enrolled in the protocol.
  • Subjects with HPS or family members who are their caregivers participating in the HPS Symptom Questionnaire will be at least 18 years of age. These subjects will enroll in the protocol and will provide written consent.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Infants under age one year are excluded because there is generally no urgency for a very early diagnosis and care is more readily provided to older infants at the Clinical Center.
  • Pregnant women and adults who are unable to provide consent are excluded.
