Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is an autosomal recessive bone marrow failure syndrome, characterized by thrombocytopenia due to defective megakaryocytopoiesis. The disorder is induced by defective expression or function of the thrombopoietin (THPO) receptor caused by mutations in the MPL gene. Recently, it has been reported that recessive mutations in the THPO gene are a novel cause of this disease.
