When you consider the autosomal recessive disorder Griscelli syndrome and interesting overlap appears.
Griscelli syndrome is the appearance of silver gray hair starting in infancy and hypo-pigmentation diagnosed as partial albinism. Griscelli syndrome appears to be a genetic disorder where there is disrupted transport of melanosomes, melanin pigment containing vesicles. What is fascinating about this is that Griscelli syndrome is also associated with neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and NK cell dysfunction.
Hepatitis C has been connected to thrombocytopenia

I have been dividing up the flaviviruses with the melanocortin receptor they could use:
mcr1 Tick borne encephalitis virus/ hepatitis C (Thrombocytopenia due to red blood cells with mcr1)
mcr2 (ACTH receptor) Zika (placenta, developing brain)
mcr3 West nile (kidneys)
mcr3 and mcr1 Japanese encephalitis
mcr4 Yellow fever (liver)/ hepatitis C
mcr5 Dengue (immune system T cells)
