Quebec platelet disorder (QPD) is a rare autosomal dominant bleeding disorder first described in a family from the province of Quebec in Canada.[1][2] The disorder is characterized by large amounts of the fibrinolytic enzyme urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) in platelets.[3] This causes accelerated fibrinolysis (blood clotbreakdown) which can result in bleeding.[2]
