Trombocitopenia hereditaria relacionada a gen MYH-9: Primera familia reportada en Chile con diagnóstico molecular. Caso clínico

We report a 51-year-old female who had a first episode of thrombocytopenia at 23 years of age during a pregnancy. At the age of fifty, a hysterectomy was indicated due to a metrorrhagia: a platelet count of 21,000/ul was detected. She was treated with eltrombopag with a good response. The family his...
