Inherited thrombocytopenias (ITs) encompass a group of rare disorders characterized by diminished platelet count. Recent advancements have unveiled various forms of IT, with inherited thrombocytopenia 2 (THC2) emerging as a prevalent subtype associated with germline variants in the critical 5' untranslated region of the gene. This region is crucial in regulating the gene expression of , particularly in megakaryocytes.

Only a few dozen cases have been reported so far. This region contains genes responsible for cell cycle control, chromatin modification, transmembrane signaling, cell adhesion, and neural development, as well as several cancer predisposition genes.

Materials And Methods: In all newly diagnosed EC, the status of mismatch repair (MMR) and p53 proteins has been evaluated immunohistochemically as a part of the routine histopathological examination since May 2021.
