Conditions with this feature

Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 1
MedGen UID:
343767
Concept ID:
C1852282
Disease or Syndrome
DFNA1 is an autosomal dominant form of progressive hearing loss with onset in the first decade. Some patients have mild thrombocytopenia and enlarged platelets, although most of these individuals do not have significant bleeding tendencies (summary by Neuhaus et al., 2017).
Thrombocytopenia 7
MedGen UID:
1768257
Concept ID:
C5436874
Disease or Syndrome
Thrombocytopenia-7 (THC7) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by reduced peripheral platelet count. The expression and severity of the disorder is highly variable: some patients have no bleeding symptoms, whereas other have recurrent petechiae, epistaxis, or more severe bleeding episodes. A common finding is decreased alpha-granules in the platelets. There are variable findings on light and electron microscopic analysis: some patients have normal platelet morphology, whereas others show abnormal platelet morphology with cytoskeletal defects. Flow cytometric studies may show reduced expression of platelet membrane glycoproteins and activation markers (summary by Lentaigne et al., 2019 and Leinoe et al., 2021). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of thrombocytopenia, see 313900.
