    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • May-Hegglin anomaly is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by macrothrombocytopenia and leukocyte inclusions.
    • It is associated with mutations in the MYH9 gene, impacting platelet and white blood cell formation.

    Observation:

    • A 2.5-year-old patient presented with thrombocytopenia, giant platelets, and Dohle-like inclusions in granulocytes.
    • Similar hematological abnormalities were observed in the patient's father and four other family members, indicating a familial pattern.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of May-Hegglin anomaly was confirmed based on the familial occurrence and characteristic morphological anomalies of platelets and leukocytes.
    • This case is notable for the patient's young age and the early onset of a hemorrhagic syndrome.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis of May-Hegglin anomaly is crucial for managing bleeding risks in affected individuals.
    • Understanding the genetic basis and clinical spectrum of May-Hegglin anomaly aids in genetic counseling and patient management.
