Accurate calculation of the effect sizes of DNA variants is necessary for reliable reporting. The presentation aimed to determine the effect sizes of rare pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (P/LPVs) causal of inherited platelet disorders. The authors found evidence for overestimation of the effect of variants for autosomal dominant disorders on platelet count/volume and clinical penetrance of P/LPVs causal of autosomal recessive platelet disorders.
