The autosomal dominant disorders, which are caused by mutation of gene encoding nonmuscle myosin heavy chain 9, May-Hegglin anomaly , Fechtner syndrome(FTNS), and Sebastian syndrome , share the triad of thrombocytopenia, large platelets and characteristic leukocyte inclusions (Dohle-like bodies). Epstein syndrome is clinically identical to FTNS, except Dohle-like bodies have not been described.
