ClinGen Gene-Disease Validity for association with AD macrothrombocytopenia has been classified as “limited”.
PMID: 30760556 – heterozygous double missense variant detected in an individual with mild macrothrombocytopenia and tubulin disorganisation in platelets; evidence for TUBA4A association with macrothrombocytopenia supported by mouse model (different variant) and other functional work demonstrating that alpha4A-tubulin is the predominant alpha-tubulin in platelets and is essential for platelet biogenesis.
PMID: 36026602 – further work in mice demonstrating importance of alpha4A-tubulin in platelets.
