Abstract excerpt
Acquired mutations in the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) occur in a subset of patients with severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) who develop acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). These mutations affect one allele and result in hyperproliferative responses to G-CSF, presumably through a dominant-negative mechanism. Here we show that a critical domain in the G-CSFR that mediates ligand...
