Hereditary isolated thrombocytopenia with normal platelets size

What it is

A rare, genetic, isolated constitutional thrombocytopenia disease characterized by decreased platelet counts, not associated with platelet morphology or function impairment, in multiple members of a family. Manifestations are variable, typically ranging from asymptomatic to mild bleeding diathesis (e.g. easy bruising, epistaxis, petechiae). Occasionally, a more severe bleeding tendency has been associated and a mild predisposition to infection and eczema has been reported.

Genes reported in subtypes

Orphanet records these genes on 2 more specific entries under this disorder, not on this entry itself:

A well-studied disease is usually split into subtypes, and the gene is curated on whichever one the evidence belongs to. Open a subtype to see which gene goes with it.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
