Description

Macrothrombocytopaenia (MTCP) is a condition which causes a low blood platelet number but increased platelet size, with these two factors often resulting in an overall normal platelet function. It is important to inform your vet of this condition so they are not concerned by a low platelet count on blood tests.

An autosomal recessive condition caused by a mutation in the TUBB1 gene.
