Table 3.
Mouse models mutating the orthologs of genes mutated or expected to be mutated in human SCN. For all rows, the symbol of the mouse orthologous gene is identical to the human symbol except that letters after the first are upper case for human become lower case for mouse (e.g., human HAX1 is orthologous to mouse Hax1). Unlike CGD and LAD, the mouse models for SCN are not necessarily neutropenic, so we note the phenotype correspondence in the rightmost column. In several cases of syndromic phenotypes, the papers describing the mice make no mention of neutrophil counts. The genes are listed in the order of the first publication year for a mouse model related to each gene, with ties broken arbitrarily.
