- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the USB1 gene on chromosome 16.
- Patients present with a gradual, centripetally spreading, papular erythematous rash on the limbs during the first year of life. Neutropenia may also be present.
VPS45 deficiency (SCN5)
- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous mutation in the VPS45 gene on chromosome 1.
- Patients present in childhood with poor weight gain, hepatosplenomegaly, severe infections, hypergammaglobulinemia, nephromegaly due to extramedullary hematopoiesis, and bone marrow fibrosis.
P14/LAMTOR2 deficiency
- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- Patients present with short stature, hypopigmeted skin, coarse facial features and recurrent bronchopulmonary infections.
JAGN1 deficiency
- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- Patients present with aberrant myeloid cell homeostasis and congenital neutropenia.
3-Methylglutaconic aciduria
- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the CLPB gene on chromosome 11, which leads to by increased levels of 3-methylglutaconic acid (3-MGA) associated with neurologic deterioration and neutropenia.
- Patients present with delayed psychomotor development, congenital neutropenia, brain atrophy, microcephaly, movement disorders and cataracts.
SMARCD2 deficiency
- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- It is caused by a mutation in the SMARCD2 gene on chromosome 17.
- Patients present with myelodysplasia, bone defects and developmental abnormalities.
WDR1 deficiency
- Autosomal recessive(AR) transmission.
- It is caused by mutation in the WDR1 gene on chromosome 4.
- Patients present with recurrent infections, mild neutropenia, impaired wound healing and severe stomatitis with oral stenosis.
HYOU1 deficiency
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by mutation in the HYOU1 gene on chromosome 11.
- Patients present with hypoglycemia and infections.
Elastase deficiency (SCN1)
- Autosomal dominant (AD) transmission.
- It is caused by a mutation in the ELANE gene on chromosome 19.
- Patients present with cyclic neutropenia starting in childhood with a cycle of approximately 21 days. Recurrent infections with fever are also common features.
- The mainstay of treatment is giving granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF or CSF3)
HAX1 deficiency (Kostmann Disease) (SCN3)
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the HAX1 gene on chromosome 1.
- Patients present with recurrent bacterial infections and neurologic abnormalities like psychomotor retardation and seizures. Patients are also at increased risk of developing leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.
GFI 1 deficiency
- Autosomal dominant (AD) transmission.
- B and T cell lymphopenia is the major feature of this disease.
X-linked neutropenia/myelodysplasia WAS GOF
- X-linked recessive transmission.
- Patients present with myeloid maturation arrest and monocytopenia.
G-CSF receptor deficiency
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by a mutation in CSF3R gene on chromosome 1.
Neutropenia with combined immune deficiency
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by a mutation in MKL1 gene on chromosome 22.
- Patients present with lymphopenia and thrombocytopenia.
Cystic fibrosis
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator gene (CFTR) on chromosome 7.
- Patients can have pancreatic insufficiency, lung infections and increased levels of sweat chloride.

Papillion-Lefèvre
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC) on chromosome 11.
- Patients present with palmoplantar keratoderma, periodontitis, and premature loss of dentition.
- Acitretin if started at a early age can help patients have normal adult dentition.
Localized juvenile periodontitis
- It is cause by a mutation in the FPR1 gene.
B-actin
- It is cause by a mutation in the ACTB gene.
- Patients usually develop mental retardation.
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- Autosomal recessive transmission.
- It results from a deficiency of the beta-2 integrin subunit of the leukocyte cell adhesion molecule, which results in poor neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis.
- Patients develop recurrent infections, delay in umbilical cord seperation, and impaired pus formation.
- The mainstay of treatment is HSCT and gene therapy.

GATA2 def (MonoMac syndrome)
- Autosomal dominant (AD) transmission.
- This syndrome is characterized by decreased or absent circulating monocytes, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, and B cells. Patients are at increased risk of developing severe or recurrent nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections, although opportunistic fungal infections and disseminated human papillomavirus (HPV) infections also occur.
- Bone marrow transplant has shown success as the mode of treatment in some cases.
Specific granule deficiency
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is cause by homozygous mutation in the CEBPE gene on chromosome 14.
- Neutrophils of these patients display atypical bilobed nuclei.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
- Autosomal recessive (AR) transmission.
- It is caused by homozygous mutation in the CSF2RB gene on chromosome 22.
- It is a rare lung disease characterized by the ineffective clearance of surfactant by alveolar macrophages causing respiratory failure.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
- X-linked recessive transmission, however it can also have autosomal recessive transmission in few cases.
- It results from an inability of the phagocytes to kill microbes that they have already ingested.
- Patients present with pneumonia, osteomyelitis and recurrent abscesses of the skin and organs.

Rac 2 deficiency
- It is caused by mutation in the RAC2 gene on chromosome 22.
- Patients present with severe infections and impaired wound healing.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) Class 1
- X-linked dominant (XLD) transmission.
- It is caused by mutation in the G6PD gene on chromosome X causing decreased G6PD enzyme levels.
- Patients typically present with acute hemolytic anemia and neonatal jaundice.
