Summary
Epidemiology
Prevalence is unknown but, to date, two cases have been reported.
Clinical description
Neutrophil immunodeficiency syndrome presents as similar to leukocyte-adhesion deficiency (LAD; see this term), however there is no evidence of deficiency in the CD11b/CD18 complex.
Etiology
The disease is due to a point dominant negative mutation in the RAC2 gene causing decreased Rac2 protein expression and a defect in a signaling pathway controlling shape change/motility of neutrophils as well as assembly and activation of NADPH oxidase.
Genetic counseling
The mode of transmission is unknown.
