Abstract:
Inherited platelet disorders (IPD) cover a heterogenous group of disorders with large differences in severity, disease mechanisms and prevalence. Pathogenic variants in more than 60 different genes, associated with megakaryocyte or platelet number and/or function, are causal of IPD. Due to disease heterogeneity IPDs are often difficult to diagnose, problematic to manage and underestimated. In the past decade, genetic diagnostics using whole-genome sequencing has revolutionised the field by identifying numerous novel genes involved in IPD aetiology as described in this review.

Thromboembolic Disorders
Two factors primarily cause thromboembolic conditions.
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...
Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...

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.
On the other...
