We performed electron micrographic analysis of the patients' platelets, and functional analysis of mutant C. elegans carrying the p.Tyr64Cys mutation in cdc-42. The results were published in Scientific Reports. Macrothrombocytopenia, intellectual disability, sensorineural deafness, distinctive facial features and structural brain abnormalities are cardinal features of Takenouchi-Kosaki syndrome.
