The Pathogenesis of Radial Ray Deficiency in Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radius (TAR) Syndrome
1Department of Surgery, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Abstract:
The genetic basis of thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome was recently identified to be related to the RBM8A gene. The encoded protein (known as the Y14 protein) is widely expressed in human cells (including osteoblasts) and plays several essential intracellular functions. Hence, the pathogenesis of radial ray deficiency in thrombocytopeniaabsent radius syndrome remains a mystery. The current paper reviews the pathogenesis of the clinical features of thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome and offers a hypothesis of pathogenesis through attenuation of the Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 signal in the mesoderm because of an increased degradation of the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Structure and Function of Platelets
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000...
