Novel Point Mutation in the Extracellular Domain of the Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-Csf) Receptor in a Case of Severe Congenital Neutropenia Hyporesponsive to G-Csf Treatment
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by a drastic reduction in circulating neutrophils and a maturation arrest of myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Usually this condition can be successfully treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Here we describe the identification of a novel point mutation in the extracellular domain of ...
متن کاملNovel mechanism of G-CSF refractoriness in patients with severe congenital neutropenia.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare disease diagnosed at or soon after birth, characterized by a myeloid maturation arrest in the bone marrow, ineffective neutrophil production, and recurrent infections. Most patients respond to treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and the majority harbor mutations in the neutrophil elastase gene. In the subset of patients wit...
متن کاملG-CSF and GM-CSF in Neutropenia.
G-CSF and GM-CSF are used widely to promote the production of granulocytes or APCs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved G-CSF (filgrastim) for the treatment of congenital and acquired neutropenias and for mobilization of peripheral hematopoietic progenitor cells for stem cell transplantation. A polyethylene glycol-modified form of G-CSF is approved for the treatment of neutropenias. ...
متن کاملG-CSF treatment of severe congenital neutropenia reverses neutropenia but does not correct the underlying functional deficiency of the neutrophil in defending against microorganisms.
The treatment of children affected by severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) with G-CSF strongly reduces the risk of sepsis by reversing neutropenia. However, SCN patients who respond to the treatment with the growth factor still have an elevated risk of succumbing to sepsis. Because the disease is usually caused by heterozygous mutations of ELA2, a gene encoding for neutrophil elastase (NE), we h...
متن کاملSevere congenital neutropenia: abnormal growth and differentiation of myeloid progenitors to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) but normal response to G-CSF plus stem cell factor.
Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN); however, the mechanism(s) still remains unknown. In particular, clinical observations suggest that abnormal responsiveness of myeloid progenitors to hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) is a possible mechanism. Therefore, to better define the status of hematopoietic progenitors in the bone m...
