R1933X mutation in the MYH9 gene in May-Hegglin anomaly mimicking idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

May-Hegglin anomaly (MHA) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the triad of thrombocytopenia, giant platelets, and inclusion bodies in leukocytes. Recent evidence links MHA to mutations in the MYH9 gene. MHA has not been reported in Taiwan before. We report a 25-year-old Taiwanese...
