Abstract excerpt
Severe congenital neutropenia is a heritable human disorder characterized by neutropenia and acute myelogenous leukemia. We recently determined that the majority of cases result from de novo or autosomal dominantly inherited heterozygous mutations in ELA2, encoding neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is a chymotryptic serine protease localized in granules of neutrophils and monocytes and is the major target...
