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.

Variant summary: MPL c.378delT (p.Phe126LeufsX5) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 277158 control chromosomes. The variant, c.378delT, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia (Ballmaier_2001, Germeshausen_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The MPL c.378delT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Phe126Leufs*5). This variant has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals with amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (Ballmaier et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11133753; Lo et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28859041; Germeshausen et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16470591). This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in MPL are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe126Leufs*5) in the MPL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MPL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8073287, 11133753). This variant is present in population databases (rs587778515, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (PMID: 11133753, 16470591, 28859041). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265249). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
