Autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia in Italy is most frequently a type of heterozygous Bernard-Soulier syndrome

open access: yes, 2001
A form of autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia is characterized by mild or no clinical symptoms, normal platelet function, and normal megakaryocyte count.

Two novel variants of the ABCG5 gene cause xanthelasmas and macrothrombocytopenia: a brief review of hematologic abnormalities of sitosterolemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
[EN] Background: Sitosterolemia (STSL) is a recessive inherited disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes. Increased levels of plasma plant sterols (PSs) usually result in xanthomas and premature coronary atherosclerosis ...

Formin proteins in megakaryocytes and platelets: regulation of actin and microtubule dynamics

open access: yesPlatelets, 2019
The platelet and megakaryocyte cytoskeletons are essential for formation and function of these cells. A dynamic, properly organised tubulin and actin cytoskeleton is critical for the development of the megakaryocyte and the extension of proplatelets ...

A Novel Homozygous GFI1B Mutation in Siblings With Thrombocytopenia and Bleeding Tendency

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Pedigree chart showing affected siblings. ABSTRACT Platelet type bleeding disorder 17 (OMIM #187900) is a type of “gray platelet syndrome” and occurs due to a mutation in the GFI1B gene on chromosome 9q34.13. Patients usually present with a history of easy bleeding tendencies, recurrent epistaxis or gum bleeding, and rarely with severe hemorrhage, and ...

LIM kinase/cofilin dysregulation promotes macrothrombocytopenia in severe von Willebrand disease-type 2B

open access: yes, 2016
International audiencevon Willebrand disease type 2B (VWD-type 2B) is characterized by gain-of-function mutations of von Willebrand factor (vWF) that enhance its binding to platelet glycoprotein Ibα and alter the protein's multimeric structure.

A novel ITGA2B double cytosine frameshift variant (c.1986_1987insCC) leads to Glanzmann's thrombasthenia in a cat

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine
Background Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is a congenital platelet disorder affecting approximately 1:1 000 000 people globally and characterized by impaired platelet aggregation and clot retraction.

Insights into the clinical, platelet and genetic landscape of inherited thrombocytopenia with malignancy risk

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, Volume 207, Issue 4, Page 1565-1577, October 2025.
Inherited thrombocytopenia (IT) caused by germline variants in RUNX1, ETV6 or ANKRD26 carries a high risk of developing haematological malignancy. This study examined the clinical, platelet and molecular characteristics of 66 patients with these conditions, who carried 24 distinct genetic variants in the corresponding genes.

Novel point mutation in a leucine-rich repeat of the GPIbα chain of the platelet von Willebrand factor receptor, GPIb/IX/V, resulting in an inherited dominant form of Bernard-Soulier syndrome affecting two unrelated families: the N41H variant

open access: yesHaematologica, 2008
In Italy, a significant proportion of patients with autosomal dominant inheritance of macrothrombocytopenia have been recognized as having heterozygous Bernard-Soulier syndrome carrying the Bolzano-type defect. This condition prompted a systematic review

Adiponectin Assists Thrombopoietic Agents in ITP Treatment by Enhancing Myosin‐9/Rab6A‐Mediated Trafficking of c‐Mpl in MKs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 34, September 11, 2025.
This study revealed that adiponectin facilitates the therapeutic efficiency of thrombopoietic agents by stimulating the membrane trafficking of c‐Mpl in MKs, which provides a point for ITP therapy. Moreover, a novel c‐Mpl trafficking mechanism based on the Myosin‐9/Rab6A complex is constructed. These findings provide new insights into the applicability

Transcriptome profiling of megakaryocytes and platelets: Application to GP9‐ and IKZF5‐related thrombocytopenia

open access: yesHemaSphere, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Platelets are anucleate cells produced in the bone marrow and derived from large progenitor cells called megakaryocytes (MKs). Platelets receive RNA transcripts from their progenitorial MKs during thrombopoiesis. However, the correspondence between platelet and MK transcriptomes is poorly understood, particularly in the context of germline ...
