Severe Congenital Neutropenia type 4 (SCN4), is a rare autosomal recessive condition, due to mutations in the G6PC3 gene. The phenotype comprises neutropenia of variable severity and accompanying anomalies.
We report a male patient with confirmed G6PC3 deficiency presented with recurrent bacterial infections and multi-systemic complications. Our case was the first with a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in G6PC3. The patient demonstrated large platelets on his peripheral blood smear which is a rare presentation of this disease.
As SCN4 patients could be easily missed, it is recommended to consider G6PC3 mutation for any case of congenital, unexplained neutropenia.
4型严重先天性中性粒细胞减少症(SCN4)是一种罕见的常染色体隐性疾病,由G6PC3基因突变引起。其表型包括严重程度不一的中性粒细胞减少症及伴随的异常情况。
我们报告了一名确诊为G6PC3缺乏症的男性患者,该患者反复出现细菌感染及多系统并发症。我们的病例是首例发现G6PC3基因存在新型纯合移码突变的病例。该患者外周血涂片显示血小板体积较大,这在该疾病中较为罕见。
由于SCN4患者容易被漏诊,对于任何先天性、不明原因的中性粒细胞减少症病例,建议考虑G6PC3基因突变。
