Familial thrombocytosis (FT) is a rare hereditary haematological disorder characterised by increased platelet count, usually caused by germ-line mutations in thrombopoietin (THPO), myeloproliferative leukaemia virus oncogene (MPL) or Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) genes, and can be associated with increased risk of thrombosis. We aimed to determine the yield of diagnostic tests, assess treatment received and describe the clinical course of MPL-associated FT. We retrospectively reviewed all paediatric and adult haematology patients diagnosed with MPL-related FT, who were seen in our clinics from March 2013 to February 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of cord blood for screening neonates for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency compared to traditional peripheral blood samples, focusing on incidence and gender distribution.
  • Analyzed data from over 8,000 neonates indicated a 2% incidence of G6PD deficiency, with a higher prevalence in males (79%) compared to females (21%), revealing significant gender differences (p < .001).
  • Results showed no significant difference in identifying G6PD deficiency between cord and peripheral blood; however, cord blood had a high sensitivity of 98.6% and a negative predictive value of 99.5%, suggesting its reliable use for neonatal screening.
