Recently, platelet RNA-seq successfully revealed abnormal splicing events in 1) NBEAL2, thus identifying the gene responsible for the Gray Platelet Syndrome[45], and, 2) the RNA-binding protein RBM8A, thus uncovering the gene responsible for the TAR (=thrombocytopenia and absent radii) syndrome[46]. This evidence concerns the gene RBM8A and gray platelet syndrome.
