Abstract excerpt
Gene abnormalities responsible for familial Pelger-Huet anomaly have been recently discovered. Abnormalities in sequence of Lamin B Receptor(LBR) gene results in a lack of LBR protein that is essential for chromatin-binding to nuclear membrane. In neutrophils lacking LBR protein shows abnormal bilobular or monolobular nuclear forms and hyper-condensed chromatin-aggregation. We re-analyzed distribution of such...
