In fact, after ELANE, mutations in SRP54 are the second most common cause of inherited
neutropenia in the French Congenital Neutropenia Registry. Together with the 3 patients
reported by Carapito et al, 2 the work of Bellann é-Chantelot et al adds to our understanding
of genetic pathways and phenotype correlations of inherited neutropenias, but it raises the
question of how to classify these and other genetic cytopenias: molecular pathway-based
classification or phenotype-based classification?
