Sea-blue histiocyte disease

Sea-blue histiocyte disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a small deletion in the APOE gene (NM_000041.2:p.L167del). Clinical features include splenomegaly, mild thrombocytopenia. In the bone marrow, histiocytes can be found that contain cytoplasmic granules that stain bright blue. Family findings suggest a founder of French-Canadian ancestry.
