摘要
We report X- linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) in a 6- year- old girl with petechiae and thrombocytopenia from the age of 3 months. Her 2- year- old brother was also diagnosed with XLT. The Wiskott- Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) gene was detected as a replacement of +5th G to A on intron 6 using sequence analysis, and the WASP expression levels in this patient were one- third those of a healthy control. The X- inactivation analysis of the patients lymphocytes showed a random pattern of X- chromosome inactivation. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of XLT in a female.
