Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) exhibit distinct clinical features and needs, defying categorization as either adults or children. Previous findings revealed a 50% risk of chronic disease at 12 months, yet the long-term course remains unclear. This study aimed to delineate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of AYAs with chronic primary ITP.

The expression of the RHO GTPase RAC2 is restricted to the hematopoietic lineage. RAC2 variants have been described to cause immunodeficiencies associated with high frequency of infection, leukopenia, and autoinflammatory features.
