Increased micromegakaryocyte count

MedGen UID:
1626370
•Concept ID:
C4531161
•
Finding
HPO: HP:0031386

Definition

The presence of abnormally high numbers of micromegakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Micromegakaryocytes are mononuclear diploid cells, with a nucleus similar in size to that of a myeloblast or promyelocyte with the cell being less than 30 micrometers in diameter. [from HPO]

Disease or Syndrome
Thrombocythemia-3 is an autosomal dominant hematologic disorder characterized by increased platelet production resulting in increased numbers of circulating platelets. Thrombocythemia can be associated with thrombotic episodes, such as cerebrovascular events or myocardial infarction (summary by Mead et al., 2012). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of thrombocythemia, see THCYT1 (187950).
