Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura mimicking immune thrombocytopenia was revealed by miscarriage-novel compound heterozygous mutations in hTTP.

Abstract excerpt

We report a case of early-onset hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in a 16-year-old girl who suffered from thrombocytopenia and was misdiagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia for years until two failed gestations finally revealed the underlying cause. The novel compound heterozygous mutation c.2865G > A:p.Trp955X and c.721delG: p.Gly241fs in the ADAMTS13 gene were identified and are predicted to be...
