Congenital neutropenia disorders at risk for MDS/AML

Disease, gene, and inheritance patternRisk of MDS/AMLCommon somatic alterationsAdditional information including nonhematologic features
ELANE SCN
ELANE, AD 
15%-20%51 ; increased incidence of MDS/AML in patients on high doses of G-CSF with poor neutrophil response.54  CSF3R, RUNX1, ASXL1, SUZ12, EP300, monosomy 7, trisomy 21.75  Acquired CSF3R mutations common (approximately 50%) in patients without MDS/AML.75  
Cyclic neutropenia
ELANE, AD 
AML rarely reported.76  CSF3R, monosomy 7, trisomy 21 in the 1 patient with AML.76  Acquired CSF3R mutations rarely identified in patients without MDS/AML.76  
HAX1-SCN
HAX1, AR 
MDS/AML reported, but incidence of leukemia not precisely reported.77  Somatic alterations not published. Acquired CSF3R mutations common (approximately 45%) in patients without MDS/AML.75  
G6PC3 deficiency
G6PC3, AR 
AML rarely reported.78  T(8;21)(q22;q22) identified by karyotype in one patient.78  Inflammatory bowel disease, congenital heart and urogenital defects, and endocrine disorders. Acquired CSF3R mutations identified in patients without MDS/AML.75  
X-linked neutropenia
WAS GOF, XL 
MDS/AML rarely reported.79  Somatic alterations not published. Acquired CSF3R mutations identified in patients without MDS/AML.75  
Glycogen storage disease type 1b
G6PT1, AR 
4% with MDS/AML in the SCNIR.80  Monosomy 7. Short telomeres also reported.81  Hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, and enterocolitis. 
Poikiloderma with neutropenia
USB1, AR 
MDS/AML reported, but incidence of leukemia not precisely reported.82  Myelodysplastic changes in most patients. Somatic alterations not published. Poikiloderma, nail dystrophy, and palmar/plantar hyperkeratosis. 
SDS
SBDS, AR 
20%-30%83,84 ; patients also at risk of BMF.16  Biallelic TP53, RUNX1, SETBP1, BRAF, NRAS, ETNK1, alterations in chromosomes 3, 5, 7, and 20.85  Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, skeletal abnormalities. Somatic alterations not associated with MDS/AML include i(7)(q10), del(20q), and EIF6 mutations. 
GATA2 haploinsufficiency
GATA2, AD 
80%86 ; occurrence typically in later adolescence and early adulthood and may be presenting feature. Monosomy 7, trisomy 8, ASXL1, der(1;7)(q10;p10).87  Warts, lymphedema, panniculitis, deafness, infection, and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. 
SAMD9/SAMD9L GOF disorder
SAMD9 or SAMD9L, AD 
Risk of MDS and AML unknown. Patients also at risk of BMF that may spontaneously resolve.88  Monosomy 7, del(7q), RUNX1, SETBP1, ETV6.89  SAMD9: adrenal hypoplasia, growth restriction, genital abnormalities, enteropathy, infections.
SAMD9L: neurologic symptoms, infections.
