General information
Thrombopathia, sometimes called Platelet Function Disorder, is a group of diseases that affect the platelet cells responsible for blood clotting, resulting in a risk of severe and uncontrolled bleeding. This variant of the disorder, found in the Basset Hound, is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene RASGRP2. Closely related variants have been observed in the American Eskimo Dog and Landseer.
