Despite progress being made in defining the genetic causes of ITs, nearly 50% of patients with familial thrombocytopenia are affected with forms of unknown origin. Here, through exome sequencing of 2 siblings with autosomal-recessive thrombocytopenia, we identified biallelic loss-of-function variants in  This gene encodes for a receptor-like PTP, PTPRJ (or CD148), which is expressed abundantly in platelets and megakaryocytes. Consistent with the predicted effects of the variants, both probands have an almost complete loss of PTPRJ at the messenger RNA and protein levels. To investigate the pathogenic role of PTPRJ deficiency in hematopoiesis in vivo, we carried out CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of  (the ortholog of human ) in zebrafish, which induced a significantly decreased number of CD41 thrombocytes in vivo. Moreover, megakaryocytes of our patients showed impaired maturation and profound defects in SDF1-driven migration and formation of proplatelets in vitro. Silencing of  in a human megakaryocytic cell line reproduced the functional defects observed in patients' megakaryocytes. The disorder caused by  mutations presented as a nonsyndromic thrombocytopenia characterized by spontaneous bleeding, small-sized platelets, and impaired platelet responses to the GPVI agonists collagen and convulxin. These platelet functional defects could be attributed to reduced activation of Src family kinases. Taken together, our data identify a new form of IT and highlight a hitherto unknown fundamental role for PTPRJ in platelet biogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30591527?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melazzini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giangregorio, Tania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cigalini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Siitonen, Timo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACTN1 mutations lead to a benign form of platelet macrocytosis not always associated with thrombocytopenia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br J Haematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br.

Among them, ACTN1-related thrombocytopenia (ACTN1-RT; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man: 615193) is one of the most recently identified forms. It has been described as a mild autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia caused by mutations in ACTN1, a gene encoding for one of the two non-muscle isoforms of α-actinin. We recently identified seven new unrelated families with ACTN1-RT caused by different mutations. Two of them are novel missense variants (p.Trp128Cys and p.Pro233Leu), whose pathogenic role has been confirmed by in vitro studies. Together with the 10 families we have previously described, our cohort of ACTN1-RT now consists of 49 individuals carrying ACTN1 mutations. This is the largest case series ever collected and enabled a critical evaluation of the clinical aspects of the disease. We concluded that ACTN1-RT is the fourth most frequent form of IT worldwide and it is characterized by platelet macrocytosis in all affected subjects and mild thrombocytopenia in less than 80% of cases. The risk of bleeding, either spontaneous or upon haemostatic challenge, is negligible and there are no other associated defects, either congenital or acquired. Therefore, ACTN1-RT is a benign form of IT, whose diagnosis provides affected individuals and their families with a good prognosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30351444?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melazzini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffredo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giangregorio, Tania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A new form of inherited thrombocytopenia due to monoallelic loss of function mutation in the thrombopoietin gene.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br J Haematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br.

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;ETV6-related thrombocytopenia (ETV6-RT) is an autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia that has been recently identified in a few families and has been suspected to predispose to hematological malignancies. To gain further information on this disorder, we searched for ETV6 mutations in the 130 families with inherited thrombocytopenia of unknown origin from our cohort of 274 consecutive pedigrees with familial thrombocytopenia. We identified 20 ETV6-RT patients from 7 pedigrees. They have 5 different ETV6 variants, including three novel mutations affecting the highly conserved E26 transformation-specific domain. The relative frequency of ETV6-RT resulted 2.6% in the whole case series and 4.6% among the families with known forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. The degree of thrombocytopenia and bleeding tendency of ETV6-RT patients were mild, but 4 subjects developed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia during childhood, resulting in a significantly increased incidence compared to the general population. Clinical and laboratory findings did not identify any peculiar defects that can be used to suspect this disorder by routine diagnostic workup. However, at variance with most inherited thrombocytopenias, platelet size was not enlarged. In vitro studies revealed that patients megakaryocytes have defective maturation and impaired proplatelet formation. Moreover, ETV6-RT platelets have reduced ability to spread on fibrinogen. Since also the dominant thrombocytopenias due to mutations in RUNX1 and ANKRD26 are characterized by normal platelet size and predispose to hematological malignancies, we suggest that mutation screening of ETV6, RUNX1 and ANKRD26 should be performed in all the subjects with autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia and normal platelet size.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style

Alterations of ACTN1, the gene encoding for α-actinin 1, have recently been identified in a few families as being responsible for a mild form of IT (ACTN1-related thrombocytopenia; ACTN1-RT). To better characterize this disease, we screened ACTN1 in 128 probands and found 10 (8 novel) missense heterozygous variants in 11 families. Combining bioinformatics, segregation, and functional studies, we demonstrated that all but 1 amino acid substitution had deleterious effects. The clinical and laboratory findings of 31 affected individuals confirmed that ACTN1-RT is a mild macrothrombocytopenia with low risk for bleeding. Low reticulated platelet counts and only slightly increased serum thrombopoietin levels indicated that the latest phases of megakaryopoiesis were affected. Given its relatively high frequency in our cohort (4.2%), ACTN1-RT has to be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of ITs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

with inherited thrombocytopenias is a major matter of concern as both the mothers and the newborns are potentially at risk of bleeding. However, medical management of this condition cannot be based on evidence because of the lack of consistent information in the literature. To advance knowledge on this matter, we performed a multicentric, retrospective study evaluating 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Neither the degree of thrombocytopenia nor the severity of bleeding tendency worsened during pregnancy and the course of pregnancy did not differ from that of healthy subjects in terms of miscarriages, fetal bleeding and pre-term births. The degree of thrombocytopenia in the babies was similar to that in the mother. Only 7 of 156 affected newborns had delivery-related bleeding, but 2 of them died of cerebral hemorrhage. The frequency of delivery-related maternal bleeding ranged from 6.8% to 14.2% depending on the definition of abnormal blood loss, suggesting that the risk of abnormal blood loss was increased with respect to the general population. However, no mother died or had to undergo hysterectomy to arrest bleeding. The search for parameters predicting delivery-related bleeding in the mother suggested that hemorrhages requiring blood transfusion were more frequent in women with history of severe bleedings before pregnancy and with platelet count at delivery below 50 × 10(9)/L.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal"

dominant thrombocytopenia and only 2 families were known. However, we recently identified mutations in the 5'-untranslated region of the ANKRD26 gene in 9 THC2 families. Here we report on 12 additional pedigrees with ANKRD26 mutations, 6 of which are new. Because THC2 affected 21 of the 210 families in our database, it has to be considered one of the less rare forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Analysis of all 21 families with ANKRD26 mutations identified to date revealed that thrombocytopenia and bleeding tendency were usually mild. Nearly all patients had no platelet macrocytosis, and this characteristic distinguishes THC2 from most other forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. In the majority of cases, platelets were deficient in glycoprotein Ia and α-granules, whereas in vitro platelet aggregation was normal. Bone marrow examination and serum thrombopoietin levels suggested that thrombocytopenia was derived from dysmegakaryopoiesis. Unexplained high values of hemoglobin and leukocytes were observed in a few cases. An unexpected finding that warrants further investigation was a high incidence of acute leukemia. Given the scarcity of distinctive characteristics, the ANKRD26-related thrombocytopenia has to be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of isolated thrombocytopenias.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21467542?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrotta, Silverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pujol-Moix, Núria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castegnaro, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnan, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Punzo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gherardi, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffredo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scianguetta, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magini, Pamela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bozzi, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dezzani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Stazio, Mariateresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferraro, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perini, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Carlo L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutations in the 5' UTR of ANKRD26, the ankirin repeat domain 26 gene, cause an autosomal-dominant form of inherited thrombocytopenia, THC2.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

Here, we show that ANKRD26, another gene within the THC2 locus, and neither MASTL nor ACBD5, is mutated in eight unrelated families. ANKRD26 was also found to be mutated in the family previously reported to have an ACBD5 mutation. We identified six different ANKRD26 mutations, which were clustered in a highly conserved 19 bp sequence located in the 5' untranslated region. Mutations were not detected in 500 controls and are absent from the 1000 Genomes database. Available data from an animal model and Dr. Watson's genome give evidence against haploinsufficiency as the pathogenetic mechanism for ANKRD26-mediated thrombocytopenia. The luciferase reporter assay suggests that these 5' UTR mutations might enhance ANKRD26 expression. ANKRD26 is the ancestor of a family of primate-specific genes termed POTE, which have been recently identified as a family of proapoptotic proteins. Dysregulation of apoptosis might therefore be the pathogenetic mechanism, as demonstrated for another thrombocytopenia, THC4. Further investigation is needed to provide evidence supporting this hypothesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21211618?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
