Cyclic neutropenia


Apparent patient location: USA

My son ( 11 weeks old) was recently diagnosed with cyclic neutropenia. I would like to get in touch with people doing research in this area. This disease appear to be autosomal dominant. My husband and I would like to get tested (we
might have a milder form of it) but without our insurance company knowing. So far the only test I know for CN is serial CBCs. Has somebody mapped the gene? Is It G-CSF receptor???. What about long term therapy with Filgrastim? Is
there a registry for CN?.

Thank you, for the help
