Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thrombocytopenia in childhood includes inherited thrombocytopenia caused by gene mutations, in addition to non-inherited immune thrombocytopenia. Based on my basic research for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, I established rapid mutation analysis system for known responsible genes for inherited thrombocytopenia with small or normal-sized platelets. I also identified novel responsible gene, MECOM gene, for newly identified disease entity in three patients by exome analysis, and reported as an article worldwide. In addition, I reported the results of gene analysis to the doctors and contributed to clinical rapid diagnosis and concise management for patients with inherited thrombocytopenia with small or normal-sized platelets.
