We describe a Japanese family with familial platelet disorder with propensity to develop myeloid malignancies (FPD/MM). Among the three affected individuals, two members developed myeloid malignancies. Sequence studies demonstrate that all affected individuals of the pedigree display a heterozygous single nucleotide deletion in exon 8 of the RUNX1 gene.

Key words: RUNX1, acute myeloid leukemia, FPD/MM.
