Bleeding diathesis due to integrin alpha2-beta1 deficiency – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1508140529

This is an unusual susceptibility to bleeding (haemorrhage) mostly due to hypocoagulability, in turn caused by a coagulopathy (a defect in the system of coagulation). This diagnosis is due to a deficiency in the transmembrane receptors that mediate the attachment between a cell and the tissues that surround it, such as other cells or the extracellular matrix (ECM).
