Congenital neutropenia.
Congenital neutropenia comprises a variety of genetically heterogeneous phenotypic traits. Molecular elucidation of the underlying genetic defects has yielded important insights into the physiology of neutrophil differentiation and function. Non-syndromic variants of congenital neutropenia are caused by mutations in ELA2, HAX1, GFI1, or WAS. Syndromic variants of congenital neutropenia may be d...
متن کاملMolecular screening of the neutrophil elastase gene in congenital neutropenia.
Congenital neutropenia is a rare hematopoietic disease, which occurs sporadically or as an auto-somal dominant inherited disorder. Pathogenesis of congenital neutropenia can now be attributed to mutations of the ELA2 gene encoding neutrophil elastase. A child with severe congenital neutropenia with a heterozygous mutation G1887A in exon 2 of ELA2 gene is reported.
متن کاملCongenital neutropenia: diagnosis, molecular bases and patient management
The term congenital neutropenia encompasses a family of neutropenic disorders, both permanent and intermittent, severe (<0.5 G/l) or mild (between 0.5-1.5 G/l), which may also affect other organ systems such as the pancreas, central nervous system, heart, muscle and skin. Neutropenia can lead to life-threatening pyogenic infections, acute gingivostomatitis and chronic parodontal disease, and ea...
متن کاملCongenital and acquired neutropenia.
Our understanding of the pathogenesis of congenital and acquired neutropenia is rapidly evolving. New ground-breaking observations have identified the genes responsible for many of the congenital neutropenia syndromes and are also providing new insights into normal neutrophil commitment and differentiation. Acquired neutropenia remains a poorly understood syndrome, although new insights into it...
