type III

type III
a disorder caused by mutations in the FERMT3 gene (locus: 11q12), which encodes an intracellular protein necessary for integrin activation, resulting in β-integrin dysfunction on platelets and leukocytes. It is characterized by recurrent infections and severe bleeding tendencies resembling Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
