Cross-species summary: Thrombocytopenia refers a platelet concentration below the reference range, non-genetic causes exist. For some species the entry includes macrothrombocytopenia

Species-specific description: See OMIA 002434-9615 : Thrombocytopenia, TUBB1-related in Canis lupus familiaris for this disease in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Norfolk and Cairn Terriers

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Clinical features: This disorder occurs in many different forms, many of which are not inherited. As summarised by Żmigrodzka et al. (2014), "Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) can occur as a result of a megacaryocyte disorder, disturbance of platelet production as well as their premature destruction. Platelet count can be also decreased due to sequestration of platelets in the tissues . . . . Myeloproliferative bone marrow disorders as well as certain drugs (e.g. oestrogens and chloramphenicol) can alter platelet production in the bone marrow . . . . The most frequent cause of thrombocytopenia is premature platelet destruction due to an abnormal immune response; when no underlying disease is found and aetiological agent remains undetermined IMT is described as primary. Secondary disease can develop in neoplastic conditions (e.g. mammary gland tumour, haemangiosarcoma, and lymphoma), infectious diseases (e.g. babesiosis, leptospirosis, and other bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections), after vaccination with live attenuated viruses (e.g. canine distemper virus), or after drug treatment (e.g. chloramphenicol, cephalosporin, sulphonamides, and gold salts). Rapid platelet consumption is often observed in acute haemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation, or inflammation. Destruction and consumption of platelets are also enhanced in microangiopathies . . . . Common causes of platelet sequestration are splenomegaly, splenic torsion, and sepsis . . . ."
