Inherited and Congenital Thrombocytopenia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Inherited forms of thrombocytopenia are rare entities comprising decreased or defective platelet production. Oftentimes, this finding is associated with bone marrow failure syndromes or other genetic disorders. Prompt recognition and diagnosis through algorithmic testing is key in order to provide anticipatory guidance, prevention of bleeding complications, and screening for associated syndromic medical comorbidities. Treatment is generally supportive, and prognosis depends on the underlying cause.
