ETV6
Associated conditions:
- Thrombocytopenia
ETV6 is a transcription factor that helps regulate normal blood cell development. Genetic changes in this gene are associated with an autosomal dominant lifelong low platelet count with a raised risk of leukaemia, especially childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Knowing your genetic status enables bleeding precautions and regular blood monitoring.
Conditions linked to ETV6
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia means a low platelet count, which can make bleeding or bruising more likely. Inherited forms vary in severity and some carry other associations, so a diagnosis guides monitoring and care.
