Immune or inherited thrombocytopenia? A population‐based cohort study on children and adolescents presenting with a low platelet count
ITP remains the most common cause of thrombocytopenia. A platelet count of ≤12 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L often leads to an ITP diagnosis. Genetic disorders are rare but should be suspected in patients with persisting thrombocytopenia, especially with platelet counts constantly above 12 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L, a positive family history, or atypical clinical features.
