A new severe congenital neutropenia syndrome associated with autosomal recessive COPZ1 mutations.

Abstract

We have identified a new inherited bone marrow failure syndrome with severe congenital neutropenia (CN) caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the coatomer protein complex I (COPI) subunit zeta 1 (COPZ1) gene. A stop-codon COPZ1 mutation and a missense (MS) mutation were found in 3 patients from 2 unrelated families. Although 2 affected siblings with a stop-codon COPZ1 mutation suffered from CN that involves other hematologic lineages and nonhematologic tissues, the patient with a MS COPZ1 mutation had isolated neutropenia. Both COPZ1 mutations were localized to a highly evolutionarily conserved region. The resulting truncated (TR) COPZ1 protein was predicted to display diminished interaction with its COPI complex partner, COPG1. These findings were consistent with the
