Alternative titles and symbols : Thrombocytopenia, autosomal dominant, 2;
Description : Thrombocytopenia-2 is an autosomal dominant nonsyndromic disorder characterized by
decreased numbers of normal platelets, resulting in a mild bleeding tendency. Laboratory
studies show no defects in platelet function or morphology, and bone marrow examination
shows normal numbers of megakaryocytes and normal maturation stages, suggesting defective
platelet production or release (summary by Pippucci et al., 2011).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 26 gene (ANKRD26,
610855.0001); Caused by mutation in the microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinase-like gene
(MASTL, 608221.0001);
