Haploinsufficiency of GATA2 caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations is associated with cytopenias and predisposition to myelodysplasia and AML with other variable extrahematopoietic manifestions, including lymphedema, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and hearing loss. The authors report on 2 siblings with the disorder whose father was asymptomatic because of an acquired missense mutation in the affected allele that was restricted to hematopoietic cells; surprisingly, he also had no extrahematopoietic complications.
