Effect of the unfolded protein response and oxidative stress on mutagenesis in CSF3R: a model for evolution of severe congenital neutropenia to myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract excerpt

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare blood disorder characterised by abnormally low levels of circulating neutrophils. The most common recurrent mutations that cause SCN involve neutrophil elastase (ELANE). The treatment of choice for SCN is the administration of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), which increases the neutrophil number and improves the survival and quality of life. Long-term...
