Abstract

VPS45 mutations cause severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). We report on a girl with SCN and neurological impairment harboring a homozygous p.E238K mutation in VPS45 (vacuolar sorting protein 45). She successfully underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Our findings delineate the phenotype and indicate a possible genotype-phenotype correlation for neurological involvement.
