MPL Gene
The MPL gene encodes the thrombopoietin receptor, crucial for platelet production and haematopoietic stem cell regulation. Mutations in the MPL gene can lead to myeloproliferative disorders, such as essential thrombocythaemia and primary myelofibrosis. Proper MPL gene function is essential for maintaining normal blood cell levels and overall haematological health.
