ABSTRACT: Abstract
Deleterious germ line RUNX1 variants cause the autosomal dominant familial platelet disorder with associated myeloid malignancy (FPDMM), characterized by thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, and a predisposition to hematologic malignancies (HMs). We launched a FPDMM natural history study and, from January 2019 to December 2021, enrolled 214 participants, including 111 patients with 39 different RUNX1 variants from 45 unrelated families. Seventy of 77 patients had thrombocytopenia, 18 of 18 had abnormal platelet aggregometry, 16 of 35 had decreased platelet dense granules, and 28 of 55 had abnormal bleeding scores. Nonmalignant bone marrows showed increased numbers of megakaryocytes in 12 of 55 patients, dysmegakaryopoiesis in 42 of 55, and reduced cellularity for age in
