abstract：:The HPS-1 gene is the first gene found to be responsible for the autosomal recessive disorder Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS). HPS is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, a platelet storage pool deficiency, and ceroid lipofuscinosis. The HPS-1 gene has been mapped to chromosome 10q23.1-23.3 and encodes a 79-kDa p...
