The megakaryocyte and platelet inhibitory receptor gene G6P (MPIG6B) is located on chromosome 6p21.33. It encodes G6b-B; an expressed the surface of platelets. regulates platelets production, aggregation, activation. We describe a case 31-year-old man who presented with long history thrombocytopenia, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly. patient received multiple blood transfusions his clinical course was stable. A bone marrow biopsy showed morphologic features similar to primary myelofibrosis. Whole...

Reticulocyte hemoglobin (CHr) is a measure of the amount in reticulocytes and marker cell hemoglobinization. In this study, we aimed to find optimal cut-off point for reticulocyte diagnose iron deficiency anemia using multiple methods. A total 309 patients were included. The median age at diagnosis was 54 years. Most females (71.2%). 68% had anemia. Patients with IDA significantly lower levels CHr compared those who non-IDA (p < 0.0001). value detecting IDA, determined various methods, 30.15...
