Abstract:
We investigated a 15-year-old female with congenital dysgranulopoietic neutropenia (CDN) and her non-neutropenic mother who had recurrent stomatitis. In both patients, cells of the neutrophilic, eosinophilic, monocytic, megakaryocytic, and basophilic series were dysmorphic. Plasmacytoid lymphocytes and mild megaloblastic erythroid precursors were present. Bleeding times of both patients were prolonged. The mother had a secondary aggregation defect; the number of the plasmacytoid lymphocytes, dense granules of platelets, and dysmorphic neutrophils, neutrophil chemotaxis, and myeloperoxidase content fluctuated according to the presence or not of aphthae. The daughter's karyotype revealed 46,XX/46,XX, t(1;8). No ELA2 or G-CSFR mutation was detected. These findings support stem cell involvement in CDN.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
