Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the genes of hematopoietic growth factor receptors as a cause of congenital cytopenia, such as congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) or severe congenital neutropenia (CN), are discussed. There are striking differences in the relevance of receptor mutations in these diseases. CAMT is a rare disease characterized by severe hypomegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia during the first years of life...
