==Disease==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GP1BA_HUMAN GP1BA_HUMAN]] Genetic variations in GP1BA may be a cause of susceptibility to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/258660 258660]]. NAION is an ocular disease due to ischemic injury to the optic nerve. It usually affects the optic disk and leads to visual loss and optic disk swelling of a pallid nature. Visual loss is usually sudden, or over a few days at most and is usually permanent, with some recovery possibly occurring within the first weeks or months. Patients with small disks having smaller or non-existent cups have an anatomical predisposition for non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. As an ischemic episode evolves, the swelling compromises circulation, with a spiral of ischemia resulting in further neuronal damage.<ref>PMID:14711733</ref>  Defects in GP1BA are a cause of Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/231200 231200]]; also known as giant platelet disease (GPD). BSS patients have unusually large platelets and have a clinical bleeding tendency.<ref>PMID:1730088</ref><ref>PMID:7690774</ref><ref>PMID:7819107</ref><ref>PMID:7873390</ref><ref>PMID:9639514</ref><ref>PMID:10089893</ref>  Defects in GP1BA are the cause of benign mediterranean macrothrombocytopenia (BMM) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/153670 153670]]; also known as autosomal dominant benign Bernard-Soulier syndrome. BMM is characterized by mild or no clinical symptoms, normal platelet function, and normal megakaryocyte count.<ref>PMID:11222377</ref>  Defects in GP1BA are the cause of pseudo-von Willebrand disease (VWDP) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/177820 177820]]. A bleeding disorder is caused by an increased affinity of GP-Ib for soluble vWF resulting in impaired hemostatic function due to the removal of vWF from the circulation.<ref>PMID:14521605</ref><ref>PMID:2052556</ref><ref>PMID:8486780</ref><ref>PMID:8384898</ref>

==Function==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GP1BA_HUMAN GP1BA_HUMAN]] GP-Ib, a surface membrane protein of platelets, participates in the formation of platelet plugs by binding to the A1 domain of vWF, which is already bound to the subendothelium.
