- Abstract:
- Chronic idiopathic neutropenia is regarded as a benign disorder without risk of malignant transformation. We present two patients with chronic idiopathic neutropenia who showed disease progression to acute myeloid leukaemia. Sequence analysis of the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) gene from leukaemic DNA did not reveal any mutations and microsatellite analysis provided no evidence of microsatellite instability or loss of constitutional heterozygosity. These case studies suggest that chronic idiopathic neutropenia may constitute a preleukaemic condition in some patients. Alterations of the G-CSFR or defective DNA mismatch repair do not appear to be involved in malignant transformation.
