Some familial platelet disorders are associated with predisposition to leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or dyserythropoietic anemia. We identified a family with autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia, high erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and two occurrences of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Whole exome sequencing identified a heterozygous single nucleotide change in ETV6 (Ets Variant Gene 6), c.641C>T, encoding a p.Pro214Leu substitution in the central domain, segregating with thrombocytopenia and elevated MCV. A screen of 23 families with similar phenotype found two with ETV6 mutations. One family had the p.Pro214Leu mutation and one individual with ALL. The other family had a c.1252A>G transition producing a p.Arg418Gly substitution in the DNA binding domain, with alternative splicing and exon-skipping. Functional characterization of these mutations showed aberrant cellular localization of mutant and endogenous ETV6, decreased transcriptional repression and altered megakaryocyte maturation. Our findings underscore a key role for ETV6 in platelet formation and leukemia predisposition.
