Identification of a nonsense mutation in the granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor receptor in severe congenital neutropenia.
10 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
Severe congenital neutropenia (Kostmann syndrome) is characterized by profound absolute neutropenia and a maturation arrest of marrow progenitor cells at the promyelocyte-myelocyte stage. Marrow cells from such patients frequently display a reduced responsiveness to granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). G-CSF binds to and activates a specific receptor which transduces signals critical for the...
