Mutations in ACTN1, the gene encoding the actin-crosslinking protein α-actinin-1, cause autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia. α-Actinin-1 exists as antiparallel dimers, composed of an N-terminal actin-binding domain (ABD), four spectrin-like repeats (SLRs), which form the spacer rod, and a C-terminal calmodulin-like (CaM) domain. All of the previously reported ACTN1 mutations associated with...
