GATA1 mutations in hematologic disorders

MutationDiseaseNotable featuresReference(s)
V205M X-linked dyserythropoietic anemia and thrombocytopenia Severe fetal anemia and postnatal abnormalities in both erythroid and platelet lineages. Also, hypercellular bone marrow with an abundance of large, multinucleated erythroid precursors and small dysplastic megakaryocytes 40  
G208S X-linked macrothrombocytopenia Macrothrombocytopenia with severe bleeding, and mild dyserythropoiesis 41, 42  
D218G 
D218Y X-linked macrothrombocytopenia with severe anemia More severe phenotype than the D218G mutation due to a stronger block in the GATA1-FOG1 interaction 43  
R216Q X-linked thrombocytopenia with β-thalassemia Individuals with the R216Q mutation share notable features with patients with gray platelet syndrome. Patients with the R216W mutation show features of congenital erythropoietic porphyria 44,,-47  
R216W 
GATA1s without +21 Inherited macrocytic anemia and neutropenia Erythroid hypoplasia with mild neutropenia and mild defects in megakaryopoiesis 48  
GATA1s with +21 TMD Transient expansion of megakaryoblasts; hepatosplenomegaly, petechiae, and effusions 5, 58  
GATA1s with +21 and a third mutation AMKL Fulminant megakaryocytic leukemia 4, 73
