Familial thrombocytosis is a type of thrombocytosis, a sustained elevation of platelet numbers, which affects the platelet/megakaryocyte lineage and may create a tendency for thrombosis and hemorrhage but does not cause myeloproliferation.
Features include very common findings: Abnormal bleeding tendency (abnormal bleeding), Elevated platelet count (thrombocytosis), Arterial thrombosis, and Venous thrombosis; and common findings: Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), Pruritus, Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), and Headache and others. 23 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
