Summary: Lower than normal blood platelet counts result from a congenital disorder called thrombocytopenia (thrombocytopenia absent radii syndrome, or TAR). Recent work indicates a complex pattern of inheritance, and possibly that TAR is at least a digenic disorder. The authors performed an extended study investigating signal transduction via immunoblotting, gel electrophoretic shift assays, and flow cytometry. One of the antibodies used was anti-p70 S6K (Cat. #AB-241). The authors conclude that there are defects in both platelet production and function in TAR.
