Comment:

Kostmann disease contributes to approximately 15% of SCN (severe congenital neutropenia) with a preponderance in the Turkish and Middle Eastern population (PMID:24145314). HAX1 gene has two different isoforms: isoform A and B. While neurological signs are not present in mutations associated with isoform A (Trp44X, Glu59X, Glu60fs), neurological abnormalities including mental retardation, epilepsy and development retardation are seen in mutations associated with both isoforms (Arg86X, Gln123fs, Val144fs, Gln190X) (PMID:26994629).

Description: (OMIM) Severe congenital neutropenia-3 is an autosomal recessive bone marrow failure disorder characterized by low numbers of neutrophils, increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections, and increased risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. In addition, patients ...
Clinical Description OMIM Infantile agranulocytosis was first clearly delineated by Kostmann (1956). Starting with 19 sibships collected by Kostmann (1975), Iselius and Gustavson (1984) assembled evidence that a single founder was responsible for the cases observed in Sweden. The likely origin ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations OMIM Germeshausen et al. (2008) identified 5 different mutations in the HAX1 gene (see, e.g., 605998.0003; 605998.0004) in 6 unrelated patients with autosomal recessive SCN3. HAX1 mutations affecting exclusively the full-length isoform A only (see, e.g., 605998.0002) resulted in ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Autosomal recessive severe congenital neutropenia constitutes a primary immunodeficiency syndrome associated with increased apoptosis in myeloid cells.
