May-Hegglin anomaly (MHA), Sebastian syndrome (SBS) and Fechtner syndrome (FTNS) are autosomal-dominant macrothrombocytopenias with Döhle-like leucocyte inclusions. These diseases are due to mutations of the MHY9 gene, encoding the heavy chain of non-muscle myosin IIA (NMMHC-A). We investigated the NMMHC-A localization in blood cells from eight MHA, SBS or FTNS patients with known MYH9 mutations. All the patients...
