Syndromic thrombocytopenia-13 (THC13) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized mainly by congenital thrombocytopenia resulting in increased bleeding. Platelets tend to be enlarged (macrothrombocytopenia) and/or gray and show functional defects. Some patients have infection-induced leukopenia or anemia and pancytopenia. Additional more variable features have also been reported, including mitral valve malformations, pyloric stenosis, and impaired intellectual development (Seo et al., 2019; Febres-Aldana et al., 2020; Marin-Quilez et al., 2023).
For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of thrombocytopenia, see THC1 (313900). [from
