Extractions: Essential Thrombocytopenia is a rare blood disease affecting the clotting factor (platelets) of the blood. It is characterized by an abnormally low platelet count and a shorter than normal (ten days) platelet survival time. Major symptoms include a tendency to bleed excessively into the skin or mucous membranes, especially during menstruation. There are many different reasons for the development of decreased marrow production or platelet destruction that causes this disorder. These can sometimes be determined by examination of bone marrow. Other forms of Thrombocytopenia may be associated with hereditary factors. Resources

Extractions: Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) May 25, 2005 Sponsored by: National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will obtain and analyze megakaryocytes (bone marrow cells that mature into blood platelets) to learn more about bleeding disorders that result from defective blood platelets. Platelets are small blood cells that form plugs, or blood clots, on injured blood vessels to stop bleeding. Platelets have sacs that contain proteins and other substances that help form these clots. People with abnormal or missing platelet sacs tend to bleed longer than other people because their platelets lack these chemicals. This study will examine how megakaryocytes build platelet sacs and what may go wrong to cause bleeding disorders associated with defective platelet sacs. Patients 2 through 80 years of age with the following disorders may be eligible for this study: gray platelet syndrome; Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome; isolated -storage pool deficiency; combined -storage pool deficiency; Chediak-Higashi syndrome; Griscelli syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; and thrombocytopenia absent radium syndrome.

However, significance of platelet count between 100,000 to 150,000/uL in neonate is not clear but needs further follow-up (6,7,8,10,11). Further investigations depend upon infant's condition and subsequent platelet count.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: TAR syndrome Background: Thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome is a rare association of thrombocytopenia and bilateral radial aplasia first described in 1951. With some families having more than one member affected, an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern was proposed. TAR was defined as a syndrome in 1969 and further classified as the association of hypomegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia and absent radii. The expression varies and includes abnormalities in skeletal, gastrointestinal, hematologic, and cardiac systems. Pathophysiology: The association of seemingly disparate skeletal and hematologic abnormalities has been proposed to be related to the simultaneous development of the heart, radii, and megakaryocytes at 6-8 weeks gestation. The similarity to congenital rubella suggests intrauterine injury at the time of development of the involved systems, but a common etiologic agent has not been identified. Alternatively, the contiguous gene model proposes that phenotypic findings are related when genes responsible for each defect are geographically related within a chromosome. This would be independent of the anatomic association and the degree of involvement in either system. The abnormality or absence of radii means muscles that normally attach to the radius attach to carpal bones. The platelet abnormality reflects platelet hypoproduction, for which numerous explanatory theories have been proposed. One suggestion is that failure in production of humoral or cellular stimulators of megakaryocytopoiesis (eg, thrombopoietin) is responsible for inhibiting platelet production. However, recent studies by Sekine et al in 1998 and Ballmaier et al in 1997 have shown comparable or higher levels of thrombopoietin in patients with TAR, as compared to healthy controls.
