Bernard Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the blood clotting mechanism. It is characterized by a deficiency or dysfunction of the glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex on the surface of platelets, which is crucial for the proper adhesion of platelets to the vascular subendothelium. This results in prolonged bleeding times and can significantly affect various aspects of health, including gynecological health.
