Key Points

To review the essential regulatory roles of GATA family transcription factors in hematopoiesis and evaluate how their dysfunction causes various human hematologic disorders.
Literature review summarizing experimental and clinical evidence on the biological functions of GATA1, GATA2, and GATA3 in blood cell development.
Synthesis of published findings detailing the genetic mutations, functional alterations, and expression abnormalities of GATA proteins in human blood diseases.
GATA1 directs erythroid and megakaryocytic lineage commitment, while GATA2 ensures the survival and proliferation of early hematopoietic progenitor cells in close partnership with GATA1.
GATA3 selectively governs T lymphoid lineage differentiation and coordinates essential immune regulatory processes.
Genetic mutations or altered expression profiles of GATA1, GATA2, and GATA3 directly cause or exacerbate diverse hematologic conditions, including cytopenias, immunodeficiencies, and hematologic malignancies.
