Abstract excerpt
Severe congenital neutropenia (CN) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome with a high incidence of acute leukemia. In previous studies, we could show that point mutations in the gene for the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor CSF3R are a highly predictive marker for leukemic development in CN patients. To find out at which stage of hematopoietic development these mutations emerge and how they...
