GFI1 and severe congenital neutropenia: In summary, the genetic screening for ELANE, HAX1, and GFI1 gene mutations in 60 patients with chronic neutropenia could identify four patients (6.7%) with ELANE gene mutation and two novel mutations, p. Ala79del in exon 3 and p. Val197GlufsTer18 in exon 4 causing SCN; and CyN, respectively.
