Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), also often known as Kostmann syndrome or disease, is a group of rare disorders that affect myelopoiesis, causing a congenital form of neutropenia, usually without other physical malformations. SCN manifests in infancy with life-threatening bacterial infections. [2] It causes severe pyogenic infections.
Neutropenia can be divided into congenital and acquired, with severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) and cyclic neutropenia (CyN) being autosomal dominant and mostly caused by heterozygous mutations in the ELANE gene (neutrophil elastase). [7] Neutropenia can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long lasting).

Ayden was born with a blood disorder called severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). Angela said her son's disorder is extremely rare. "My son's condition is the opposite of sickle. His condition ...
Cyclic neutropenia (CyN), like severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), is a rare disorder. It is considered that in the general population, CyN has a frequency of one in one million. [ 1 ] It is the result of autosomal dominant mutation in ELANE gene located on the short arm (p) of chromosome 19 (19p13.3), the gene encoding neutrophil elastase ...
Myelokathexis is a congenital disorder of the white blood cells that causes severe, chronic leukopenia (a reduction of circulating white blood cells) and neutropenia (a reduction of neutrophil granulocytes). [1] The disorder is believed to be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
If you experience difficulty breathing, develop a severe cough, notice thick green or yellow mucus, run a fever, and/or feel extremely fatigued. If your symptoms worsen instead of improve over time.
Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive severe congenital neutropenia. [8]G6PC3 deficiency results in a phenotypic continuum. [9] [10] At one end the affected individuals have only neutropenia and related complications but no other organ is affected.
