Abstract excerpt
Cyclic neutropenia (CyN) is a rare haematological disorder most often caused by mutations in the neutrophil elastase gene (ELANE). We describe three novel ELANE mutations in CyN patients and link them to impaired neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. ELANE sequencing was performed using the Sanger method, and AlphaFold2 was used to visualize the impact of mutations on the structure of neutrophil elastase...
