Overview
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia has incidence/prevalence of approximately one per 1,000,000 individuals worldwide. The highest reported prevalence in the world was in Iran, in 2004 the incidence of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia was approximately 2 per 100,000 individuals. Fatal bleeding can occur at any age in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia patients, however the prevalence of severe bleeding episodes are reduce with age. The case-fatality rate of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is relatively low.
