Stormorken syndrome
Definition:
Stormorken syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease with mild bleeding tendency, thrombocytopathy, thrombocytopenia, mild anemia, asplenia, tubular aggregate myopathy, miosis, headache, and ichthyosis. The STIM1 mutation found in Stormorken syndrome patients is located in the coiled-coil 1 domain, which might play a role in keeping STIM1 inactive. STIM1 encodes a major calcium sensor of the endoplasmic reticulum.
