Neutrophil counts in persons of African origin.

Current opinion in hematology - 1 Jan 2014

Thobakgale Christina F, Ndung'u Thumbi

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The causes of ethnic or benign neutropenia have long been unclear. Here, we discuss the emerging data on the causes and consequences of neutropenia and discuss the relevance of these data for African populations, in which the prevalence of neutropenia is high. RECENT FINDINGS: Genetic deletion of the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC-null genotype) has been identified as a major...
