Implication

This case report highlights GFI1B mutations affecting platelet counts in adults, suggesting need for early genetic testing.

Key Points

To explore the role of GFI1B mutations in inherited thrombocytopenia and the associated clinical features.
Comprehensive molecular analysis of GFI1B in an adult male with severe thrombocytopenia.
Assessment of platelet counts and bleeding episodes since childhood.
Evaluation of therapeutic responses to eltrombopag and romiplostim.
Literature review to analyze existing cases of GFI1B-related thrombocytopenia.
Identification of a heterozygous GFI1B variant associated with severe thrombocytopenia.
Patient exhibited α‑granule deficiency and persistent CD34 expression in megakaryocytes.
Partial response in platelet counts observed with thrombopoietin receptor agonists.
Familial analysis revealed variable clinical outcomes among carriers of the same variant.
