Abstract excerpt
Thrombopoietin (THPO) is an essential factor for platelet production. Hereditary thrombocythemia (HT) is caused by a germline mutation of THPO, MPL, or JAK2 and is inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner. We identified a Japanese family with HT due to a point mutation of the splicing donor site of the THPO gene (THPO c.13 + 1G > A). Bone marrow biopsy showed increased megakaryocytes mimicking essential...
