Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous mutations of ELA2, encoding the protease neutrophil elastase (NE), cause either autosomal dominant cyclic neutropenia or severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). Three hypotheses have been proposed for how allelic mutations produce these different disorders: 1) disruption of proteolytic activity; 2) mislocalization of the protein; or 3) destabilization of the protein resulting in induction of the...
