Thrombocytopenia 3(THC3)

MedGen UID:
437174
Concept ID:
C2678311
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: THC3; THROMBOCYTOPENIA, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE, 3
 
Gene (location): FYB1 (5p13.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010120
OMIM®: 273900

Definition

Thrombocytopenia-3 (THC3) is an autosomal recessive hematologic disorder characterized by onset of small-platelet thrombocytopenia in infancy. Patients may show variable bleeding tendency, manifest as petechiae, epistaxis, or heavy menstrual bleeding (summary by Levin et al., 2015). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of thrombocytopenia, see 313900. [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Epistaxis
MedGen UID:
4996
Concept ID:
C0014591
Pathologic Function
Epistaxis, or nosebleed, refers to a hemorrhage localized in the nose.
Gingival bleeding
MedGen UID:
42218
Concept ID:
C0017565
Pathologic Function
Hemorrhage affecting the gingiva.
Menorrhagia
MedGen UID:
44358
Concept ID:
C0025323
Pathologic Function
Prolonged and excessive menses at regular intervals in excess of 80 mL or lasting longer than 7 days.
Thrombocytopenia
MedGen UID:
52737
Concept ID:
C0040034
Disease or Syndrome
A reduction in the number of circulating thrombocytes.
Prolonged bleeding time
MedGen UID:
56231
Concept ID:
C0151529
Finding
Prolongation of the time taken for a standardized skin cut of fixed depth and length to stop bleeding.
Decreased mean platelet volume
MedGen UID:
853132
Concept ID:
C1096368
Finding
Average platelet volume below the lower limit of the normal reference interval.
Abnormal bleeding
MedGen UID:
264316
Concept ID:
C1458140
Pathologic Function
An abnormal susceptibility to bleeding, often referred to as a bleeding diathesis. A bleeding diathesis may be related to vascular, platelet and coagulation defects.
Megakaryocytopenia
MedGen UID:
346881
Concept ID:
C1858312
Finding
A reduced count of megakaryocytes.
Abnormal megakaryocyte morphology
MedGen UID:
868626
Concept ID:
C4023026
Finding
Any structural anomaly of megakaryocytes. Mature blood platelets are released from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes, which are bone-marrow resident cells.
Splenomegaly
MedGen UID:
52469
Concept ID:
C0038002
Finding
Abnormal increased size of the spleen.
Petechiae
MedGen UID:
10680
Concept ID:
C0031256
Disease or Syndrome
Petechiae are pinpoint-sized reddish/purple spots, resembling a rash, that appear just under the skin or a mucous membrane when capillaries have ruptured and some superficial bleeding into the skin has happened. This term refers to an abnormally increased susceptibility to developing petechiae.
Purpura
MedGen UID:
19584
Concept ID:
C0034150
Disease or Syndrome
Purpura (from Latin
Spontaneous hematomas
MedGen UID:
306397
Concept ID:
C1697453
Disease or Syndrome
Spontaneous development of hematomas (hematoma) or bruises without significant trauma.
