Abstract excerpt
Severe congenital neutropenia as well as primary myelofibrosis are rare in infancy. Elucidation of the underlying mechanism is important because it extends our understanding of the more common adult forms of these disorders. Using homozygosity mapping followed by exome sequencing, we identified a Thr224Asn mutation in the VPS45 gene in infants from consanguineous families who suffered from life-threatening...
