Interestingly, GFI1 recruits to chromatin the enzyme lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1); pharmacologic inhibition of LSD1 or genetic knock-down of LSD1 skews granulocyte-monocyte progenitor differentiation resulting in neutropenia and monocytosis as seen in this family [10]. The gene discussed is GFI1; the disease is Decreased total neutrophil count.
