May-Hegglin anomaly

May-Hegglin anomaly
an autosomal dominant disorder of blood cell morphology, caused by mutations in the MYH9 gene (locus: 22q11.2), which encodes a component of nonmuscle myosin. It is characterized by blue, RNA-containing cytoplasmic inclusions similar to Dцhle bodies in most of the granulocytes, accompanied by abnormally large, poorly granulated platelets and sometimes thrombocytopenia, usually without other distinguishing features.
