Severe Clinical Course in a Patient with Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia Due to a Missense Mutation of the c-MPL Gene
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) generally begins at birth with severe thrombocytopenia and progresses to pancytopenia. It is caused by mutations in the thrombopoietin receptor gene, the myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene (c-MPL). The association between CAMT and c-MPL mutation type has been reported in the literature. Patients with CAMT have been categorized according...
متن کاملc-mpl mutations are the cause of congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia.
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare disease presenting with isolated thrombocytopenia in infancy and developing into a pancytopenia in later childhood. Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the main regulator of thrombocytopoiesis and has also been demonstrated to be an important factor in early hematopoiesis. We analyzed 9 patients with CAMT for defects in TPO production and reactiv...
متن کامل[Identification of mutations in c-mpl gene in congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia].
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare disorder expressed in infancy and characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia and megakaryocytopenia with no physical anomalies. Our previous hematological analysis indicated similarities between human CAMT and murine c-mpl (thrombopoietin receptor) deficiency. Because the c-mpl gene was considered as one of the candidate genes for thi...

متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
