Genes mutated in human syndromic and non-syndromic congenital neutropenias, not including some genes mutated in combined immunodeficiencies. The references given here are to papers that identified the initially discovered mutation(s). Other papers describing the clinical phenotypes and additional mutations are cited in the text. Inheritance: AD= autosomal dominant; AR = autosomal recessive; XLR= X-linked recessive; M = mitochondrial. Gene symbols are the current HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee-approved symbols with the exception of p14 that has no approved symbols; therefore, gene symbols may differ from gene names used in the cited papers.

Disease Inheritance Mutated Gene Reference(s) comments
Severe Congenital Neutropenia (SCN) AD ELA2 [32] Mostly missense mutations
SCN AD GFII [33] Missense mutations in the zinc finger domain
SCN XLR WAS [34, 35•] Missense mutations that lead to constitutive activation
SCN AR HAX1 [27••]
Cyclic neutropenia AD ELA2 [36] Mutations mostly different from those causing SCN
Glycogen storage disease type Ib AR SLC37A4 [37]
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, type 2 AR AP3B1 [38] Other types of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome do not include neutropenia
Griscelli syndrome, type 2 AR RAB27A [39] Other types of Griscelli syndrome do not include neutropenia
