Thrombocytopenia usually remains only disease manifestation throughout life 1 [ Pecci et al 2014a]. Thrombocytopenia ranges from mild to severe. The degree of thrombocytopenia usually remains stable in each individual throughout life. Because platelet counts at the lower limit of the normal range have been reported in very few individuals with MYH9-RD, platelet macrocytosis and aggregates of the MYH9 protein in neutrophils are the only findings shared among all affected individuals. If an individual with MAP develops colorectal cancer or if colon polyps are too numerous to be removed during a colonoscopy, surgery may be considered. Colectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of the colon. This may be considered if polyps cannot be managed with regular colonoscopies because there are too many.

Web software, connecting to the HR database is accessed through a secure connection over QMUL's intranet. If you are concerned about your risk of developing cancer, talk with your health care team. It can be helpful to bring someone along to your appointments to take notes. Consider asking the following questions: You can access MyHR if you have a fully managed Dell laptop with Direct Access enabled. If your laptop has Direct Access enabled and it says University Connection Connected, you will be able to access MyHR off campus, as long as you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. In some people, MAP is associated with developing hundreds of polyps, and it appears to be similar to the other hereditary conditions of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP). In other cases, people with MAP can be diagnosed with fewer polyps (less than 20) and/or colorectal cancer at a young age. MYH9-specific laboratory technical considerations. MYH9 comprises 41 exons. The first exon does not code for amino acids; the first methionine of the open reading frame is in exon 2. Exon numbering may vary among different testing laboratories.Kidney damage is thought to mainly result from defective function of the podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells of the renal glomerular filtration barrier. Investigations of mouse models of MYH9-RD showed signs of podocyte damage, such as effacement of their foot processes with loss of the filtration slit between neighboring foot processes. These alterations resemble those observed in the few kidney biopsies of individuals with MYH9-RD analyzed to date. Moreover, in vitro studies demonstrated that MYH9 pathogenic variants induce profound alteration in the structure and functions of the cytoskeleton of podocytes that are likely to cause alteration of the kidney filtration barrier, proteinuria, and, therefore, progressive kidney disease [ Pecci et al 2018]. Molecular genetic testing approaches can include a combination of gene-targeted testing (single-gene testing and multigene panel) and comprehensive genomic testing ( exome sequencing and genome sequencing) depending on the phenotype. The need for prophylactic intervention in preparation for surgery or other invasive procedures (including platelet transfusion, short-term eltrombopag, and/or empiric use of antifibrinolytics drugs or desmopressin) should be established based on the type of procedure, the individual's previous history of bleeding, and platelet count before the procedure. Defective growth & psychomotor development; ID; facial abnormalities; brain, cardiac, genitourinary, &/or skeletal malformations Glomerular nephropathy presents with proteinuria and microhematuria. However, in MYH9-RD, hematuria may result from thrombocytopenia rather than glomerular disease; therefore, proteinuria is the more reliable indicator of glomerular involvement.

Urinalysis, 24-hour protein, or protein (or albumin)-to-creatinine ratio on a spot urine sample; serum concentration of creatininePlatelet macrocytosis is present from birth in all individuals with MYH9-RD (see Diagnosis, Suggestive Findings). Ultrasound of the thyroid gland may be considered to screen for thyroid cancer, starting at age 25 to 30 The spectrum of the MYH9 pathogenic variants responsible for MYH9-related disease is mainly represented by missense variants or small in-frame deletions/insertions, most of which are identified in a few hot spots (exons 2, 17, 25, 26, 27, 31, and 39). The nonsense and frameshift pathogenic variants affect exclusively the last coding exon of MYH9 (exon 41). MYH9 encodes myosin-9, a protein of 1960 amino acids also known as the heavy chain of the non-muscle myosin IIA. Myosin-9 dimerizes and assembles with two essential and two regulatory light chains to constitute a hexameric molecule, the non-muscle myosin IIA (NMMIIA). NMMIIA assembles into functional bipolar filaments, which – interacting with actin – generate the mechanical force necessary for a variety of cellular processes, including motility and migration, cytokinesis, shape maintenance and change, and polarization. Oral contraceptives are often effective in preventing and/or controlling menorrhagia. The risk of thrombosis associated with the administration of oral contraceptives containing estrogens should be taken into account in women with MYH9-RD.
