With respect to hematological and nonhematological toxicities, SNPs in drug transporters (ABCB1 and ABCG2) were associated with thrombocytopenia, nausea and neutropenia, whereas SNPs in the DNA repair pathway genes ERCC4 and XPC were significantly associated with neutropenia and sensory neuropathy, respectively.
CYP2C8*3 was significantly associated with increased risks of severe (grades 3-4) neutropenia (OR<sub>adjusted</sub> 2.11; 95% CI 1.24-3.6; dominant model) and severe thrombocytopenia (OR<sub>adjusted</sub> 4.93; 95% CI 1.69-14.35; recessive model), whereas ABCB1 variant genotypes (OR<sub>adjusted</sub> 2.13; 95% CI 1.32-3.42), in association with CYP2C8*3 wild type (GG) (OR<sub>adjusted</sub> 1.93; 95% CI 1.17-3.19), were predictive of severe fatigue.

Multivariate analysis indicated that the variant ABCG2 421C>A is suggestively associated with severe thrombocytopenia (P = 8.41x10(-3), OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.17-2.94) after adjustment of age as a confounding factor.
A study to explore the correlation of ABCB1, ABCG2, OCT1 genetic polymorphisms and trough level concentration with imatinib mesylate-induced thrombocytopenia in chronic myeloid leukemia patients.
Patients carrying an ABCG2 421 AA genotype developed significantly more grade 3 or grade 4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and HFS adjusted for age, sex, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, and body surface area (odds ratio compared with AC/CC genotypes [OR] 9.90, P = 0.04, thrombocytopenia; OR 18.20, P = 0.02, neutropenia; and OR 28.46, P = 0.01, HFS).
KEY POINTS This observational study did not generate a hypothesis of an association between the first cell-culture seasonal influenza vaccination available in the European Union and any of the study outcomes (severe allergic reactions, Bell's palsy, convulsions, demyelination, paresthesia, noninfectious encephalitis, neuritis [optic and brachial], vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], and thrombocytopenia).
The ACHE and BCHE genes, encoding the acetylcholine hydrolysing enzymes acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE), co-amplify with several oncogenes in leukemic patients with platelet deficiency (thrombocytopenia).
Loss of signal at the ACHE locus was observed: haploid signal intensity was seen in seven samples: one RA with thrombocytopenia, three CMML, one AML-M5a (no karyotypic abnormalities of chromosome 7), one AML-M4 (monosomy 7), and one case of AML-M7 (karyotype unknown).
The rod domain, like other ACTN1 functional domains, may be mutated resulting in actin disorganization in vitro and thrombocytopenia with normal platelet size in most cases.
In this model, autoinflammation was caused by mutation in the actin regulatory gene WDR1 We report a homozygous missense mutation in WDR1 in two siblings causing periodic fevers with immunodeficiency and thrombocytopenia.
Our results define an ACTB-associated clinical syndrome with a distinct genotype-phenotype correlation and delineate molecular mechanisms underlying thrombocytopenia in this patient cohort.
These data reveal an unexpected role of Mastl in actin cytoskeletal dynamics in postmitotic cells and suggest that the thrombocytopenia-associated mutation in MASTL is a pathogenic dominant mutation that mimics decreased PP2A activity resulting in altered phosphorylation of cytoskeletal regulatory pathways.
To decipher the spectrum of variants and phenotype of ACTN1-related thrombocytopenia, we sequenced the ACTN1 gene in 272 cases of unexplained chronic or familial thrombocytopenia.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning data on hypomorphic mutations of FLI1 and the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms, such as that identified in ACTN1, with thrombocytopenia.
