Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have shown that point mutations in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) are involved in the pathogenesis of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) and in the transformation of SCN to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). It is reasonably speculated that the abnormalities in the signal transduction pathways for G-CSF could be partly responsible for the pathogenesis and the development to...
