Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia with multiple physical anomalies in a female neonate.

چکیده
Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare disorder of infancy characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia along with hypoplasia or aplasia of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. It is caused by c-mpl mutation which disrupts the function of thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor. CAMT in association with physical anomalies is a rare entity with only limited data from single case reports being available. Here we present a case of 35 days neonate who had CAMT together with facial malformations and cardiac defects.

[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 کاملConstitutional aplastic anaemia: a family with a new X linked variety of amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia.
A family is described in which three male members died in early infancy with severe thrombocytopenia and a fourth in adolescence with aplastic anaemia. One child was investigated in detail and shown to have amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, progressing to pancytopenia as a result of bone marrow hypoplasia. His associated congenital abnormalities differed from those described in Fanconi's aplast...
متن کاملFrequency and natural history of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes: the Israeli Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Registry.
BACKGROUND Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes are rare genetic disorders characterized by bone marrow failure, congenital anomalies, and cancer predisposition. Available single disease registries provide reliable information regarding natural history, efficacy and side effects of treatments, and contribute to the discovery of the causative genes. However, these registries could not shed li...
متن کاملMyelodysplastic Syndrome Presenting as Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia in a Collodion Baby
We report a rare case of myelodysplastic syndrome that presented early as amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia in a collodion baby, which is a rare congenital disorder characterized by thick, taut membrane resembling oiled parchment or collodion, which is subsequently shed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a collodion baby who presented with amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia and ...
متن کاملAcquired Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia in a Child: A Very Rare Case
Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpuria (AATP) is an unusual hematologic disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia resulting from an unexplained reduction in the number of bone marrow megakaryocytes in the presence of otherwise normal hematopoiesis in the bone marrow [1]. The exact prevalence of acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia is unknown due to its very rare incidence. Aro...
