There are two clearly affected cousins, the mother of one has short-appearing forearms, as does the common grandmother. The father of the other cousin has no obvious phenotypic manifestations.

65. TAR Syndrome
Brief Summary thrombocytopeniaabsent radius (TAR) syndrome is arare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital).
http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/seepat/brief.htm
Brief Summary:
Thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized by low levels of platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia), resulting in potentially severe bleeding episodes (hemorrhaging) primarily during infancy. Other characteristic findings include absence (aplasia) of the bone on the thumb side of the forearms (radii) and underdevelopment (hypoplasia) or absence of the bone on the "pinky" side of the forearms (ulnae). Other abnormalities may also be present, such as structural malformations of the heart (congenital heart defects), kidney (renal) defects, and/or mental retardation that may be secondary to bleeding episodes in the skull (intracranial hemorrhages) during infancy. TAR syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Tar Syndrome is also known as: - Radial Aplasia-Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia
- Radial Aplasia-Thrombocytopenia Syndrome
- Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radii Syndrome
- Short Arm Syndrome
- TAR Syndrom
- TAR Management of Disorder: Supportive : 1. Supportive transfusions of platelets, whole blood products

yes no TAR syndrome: Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius Thrombocytopenia means low platelets. The thrombocytes are the platelets and 'penia' means 'not very much of.' In T hrombocytopenia and A bsent R adius there are low platelets and absence of the radius on both sides (bilaterally). The radius and the ulna are the two bones in the forearm. The radius is the bone that is on the side of the forearm where the thumb is and the ulna is on the side of the arm where the little finger is. There may be other bones involved as well but the unique feature of Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius is that although the radius is absent, the thumb is present. Most other limb anomalies that involve the radius also affect the thumb. There are a number of other disorders that involve elements of the blood and abnormal structure of bones of the arm and it is important to realise that TAR is a very specific condition. TAR is considered a congenital abnormality since the bone structure is abnormal at birth. TAR has an ongoing problem since during childhood most affected individuals continue to have low platelets. Viral illnesses and other kinds of stress can cause the platelets to become very low and even require platelet transfusions. All individuals with TAR have low platelets but often as they grow older, it becomes less of a problem and affected individuals can outgrow the risk of bleeding related to low platelets. About ninety per cent of individuals with TAR are symptomatic during the first year of life with easy bruising, bleeding from the GI tract or even bleeding into the brain. The level of platelets will fall and rise throughout low platelet episodes. A normal platelet count is greater than two hundred thousand platelets per millilitres squared of blood. Individuals with TAR may have less than ten thousand platelets per millilitres squared when they are having severe episodes.

Thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome
The thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome is characterised by bilateral absence of the radius with both thumbs present (absent thumbs suggests other syndromes) and thrombocytopenia which may be transient and tends to remit in later childhood but is usually symptomatic in early infancy (90% within the first 4 months). The main conditions which might be mistaken for TAR syndrome are Holt-Oram syndrome, Roberts syndrome, Fanconi anaemia, thalidomide embryopathy, and Rapadilino syndrome. TAR syndrome was first described by Shaw and Oliver in 1959. A series of 34 patients has been reported from South West England (Greenhalgh KL and colleagues. J Med Genet The 34 patients were recruited through Clinical Genetics Services and all had bilateral absence of the radius with thumbs and x /L). Platelet

There is always a hematology supervisor on duty in the lab. The path resident is encouraged to discuss any problems with the supervisor first. If additional information or consultation is needed, the resident may call the Hematology Chief Tech, Sue Bell, or Dr. Kroft. Please notify the day shift supervisor the following day if any tests are approved or authorized to be done by outside laboratories.

See Microbiology section
Factor VIII assays
Factor VIII assays are not done on an emergency basis at night, holidays, or on weekends without the approval of the path resident. This is because the assay is time consuming, and the hematology lab is not fully staffed during these hours. The path resident should discuss the situation with the clinician who requested the assay. It is the resident's responsibility to decide whether or not the request is a valid one. Other lab results such as protime and PTT may be helpful in evaluating the situation. Information from the clinician, such as past medical history (e.g., is the patient a known hemophiliac?, is emergency surgery required?, etc.) may also be important in reaching the appropriate decision. The path resident may wish to request a hematology/oncology consult.

Updated 04-05-08
On September 28, 1998 my son Alex was born with thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and missing radii in both arms. The diagnosis was made as TAR Syndrome, meaning "Thrombocytopenia, Absence of Radius syndrome".
The main characteristics of TAR Syndrome are low platelet values, the absence of radii bones (arm) and other skeletal abnormalities. Other clinical features are cardiac abnormalities and cow's milk allergies or intolerance. These children also tend to have elevated white blood cells.
Tar Syndrome is a rare genetic disease, when Alex was diagnosed the hospital told us that there were 161 known documented cases in Canada. A Spanish study showed that the estimated frequency of Tar syndrome in their area was .42 per 100,000 live born infants. It is not known if we can assume a similar frequency in Canada and in the United States. The Reason for this web page is to help anyone confronted with TAR's Syndrome and at the same time find support for my own son.

Cows' milk allergy in the syndrome of thrombocytopenia with absent radius
MF Whitfield and DG Barr
A girl with the syndrome of thrombocytopenia with absent radius had severe diarrhoea and dehydration relieved by withdrawal of cows' milk and aggravated by its reintroduction on three occasions. Deterioration in gastrointestinal symptoms was associated with haematological relapse with thrombocytopenia, leucocytosis, anaemia, and eosinophilia. There appeared to be a correlation between milk exposure and the haematological and gastrointestinal disturbances. Supporting evidence from published reports for such a correlation is reviewed. Cows' milk protein intolerance may be a factor in precipitating haematological relapse in susceptible infants with radius aplasia. Early withdrawal of cow's milk protein should be tried in
