Symbol MTCP2
Location 14q24.1
Name macrothrombocytopenia 2
Corresponding gene ACTN1
Main clinical features
  • congenital macrothrombocytopenia, rare platelet disorder characterized by a congenital reduction of platelet counts and abnormally large platelets
  • macrothrombocytopenia was accompanied by anisocytosis, and bleeding diathesis was absent
  • Genetic determination autosomal dominant
    Prevalence 5.5p100 of the dominant forms of congenital macrothrombocytopenia cases
    Function/system disorder hematology
    Type disease
    Remark(s)
  • all ACTN1 variants caused varying degrees of disorganization of the actin filaments in variant-transduced cells, in which ACTN1 colocalized with less fine, shortened actin filaments and in which unbound ACTN1 was coarsely distributed within the cytoplasm (PMID: 23434115))
