  3. Platelet storage pool deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_storage_pool...

    Platelet storage pool deficiency is a family of clotting disorders characterized by deficient granules in platelets.Individuals with these disorders have too few or abnormally functioning alpha granules, delta granules, or both alpha and delta granules and are therefore unable to form effective clots, which leads to prolonged bleeding.

  5. Giant platelet disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_platelet_disorder

    Giant platelet disorders, also known as macrothrombocytopenia, are rare disorders featuring abnormally large platelets, thrombocytopenia and a tendency to bleeding. Giant platelets cannot stick adequately to injured blood vessel walls, resulting in abnormal bleeding when injured.
