A Truncated Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor Receptor (G-CSFR) Inhibits Apoptosis Induced by Neutrophil Elastase G185R Mutant: IMPLICATION FOR UNDERSTANDING CSF3R GENE MUTATIONS IN SEVERE CONGENITAL NEUTROPENIA.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in ELANE encoding neutrophil elastase (NE) have been identified in the majority of patients with severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). The NE mutants have been shown to activate unfolded protein response and induce premature apoptosis in myeloid cells. Patients with SCN are predisposed to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and progression from SCN to AML is accompanied by mutations in CSF3R encoding the...
