Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Background The number of CD34(+) cells mobilized from bone marrow to peripheral blood after administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor varies greatly among healthy donors. This fact might be explained, at least in part, by constitutional differences in genes involved in the interactions tethering CD34(+) cells to the bone marrow. DESIGN AND METHODS: We analyzed genetic characteristics...
