Genes affected
MPL (HGNC:7217): (MPL proto-oncogene, thrombopoietin receptor) In 1990 an oncogene, v-mpl, was identified from the murine myeloproliferative leukemia virus that was capable of immortalizing bone marrow hematopoietic cells from different lineages. In 1992 the human homologue, named, c-mpl, was cloned. Sequence data revealed that c-mpl encoded a protein that was homologous with members of the hematopoietic receptor superfamily. Presence of anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotides of c-mpl inhibited megakaryocyte colony formation. The ligand for c-mpl, thrombopoietin, was cloned in 1994. Thrombopoietin was shown to be the major regulator of megakaryocytopoiesis and platelet formation. The protein encoded by the c-mpl gene, CD110, is a 635 amino acid transmembrane domain, with two extracellular cytokine receptor domains and two intracellular cytokine receptor box motifs . TPO-R deficient mice were severely thrombocytopenic, emphasizing the important role of CD110 and thrombopoietin in megakaryocyte and platelet formation. Upon binding of thrombopoietin CD110 is dimerized and the JAK family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases, as well as the STAT family, the MAPK family, the adaptor protein Shc and the receptors themselves become tyrosine phosphorylated.

One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 6/121376 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000494, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MPL variant (0.002357). The variant has been reported in affected individuals in the literature in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The MPL c.235_236del (p.Leu79GlufsTer84) variant has been reported in homozygous state in individuals affected with Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia, Congenital (Ballmaier M et al.). Experimental studies have shown that this frameshift predicted to result in a complete absence of functional c-Mpl protein. This variant has also been reported to lead to a complete loss of a functional TPO receptor c-Mpl (Ballmaier M et al.). This variant has been submitted with the allele frequency 0.005% in the gnomAD and novel in 1000 genome database. It has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Leucine 79, changes this amino acid to Glutamic Acid residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 84 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Leu79GlufsTer84. Loss-of-function variants in MPL are known to be pathogenic (Gurney AL et al.) For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
