Abstract excerpt
The MPIG6B gene, which encodes G6b-B, regulates platelet production, aggregation, and activation. Loss-of-function of G6b-B can cause thrombocytopenia, myelofibrosis, and anemia in both humans and mice. Several pathogenic MPIG6B mutations have been reported, such as c.324C>A (p.C108*), c.61_61+1dup (p.Ala21GlyfsX159), c.149dup (p.Ala52GlyfsX128), G6b c.469G>A (p.Gly157Arg) c.392delC (p.P134Lfs*10), and...
