Abstract excerpt
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) and cyclic neutropenia (CyN) are sporadic or inherited hematologic disorders of myelopoiesis. Heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding neutrophil elastase (ELA2) have been reported in both diseases. We used an inducible system to express a panel of ELA2 mutations and found for almost all mutants disruption of intracellular neutrophil elastase (HNE) protein processing at...
