Gastrointestinal ulceration, recurrent, with dysfunctional platelets

Definition

Gastrointestinal ulceration, recurrent, with dysfunctional platelets (GURDP) is an inherited cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) deficiency due to mutations in PLA2G4A. Patients have severe peptic ulcers and bleeding beginning at an early age. cPLA2 catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids to arachidonic acid and lysophospholipids that are precursors of numerous bioactive lipids.
