Screening of genetic variants in ELANE mutation negative congenital neutropenia by next generation sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Congenital neutropenia (CN) is a rare inherited disease that results in recurrent, life-threatening bacterial infections due to a deficiency of mature neutrophils. They are usually caused by heterozygous ELANE mutations although mutations in other genes like HAX-1, G6PC3 and GFI1 have also been reported. Identifying the causative mutation aids in the establishment of diagnosis and rules out other secondary...
