severe congenital neutropenia (scn) is a rare primary immunodeficiency. different genes are found to be associated with scn, including ela2, hax1, was, gfi1, g-csfr. also, recently g6pc3 as a rare gene in scn has been reported. patients with g6pc3 often have cardiac and/or urogenital malformations. two patients with   persistent   severe   neutropenia,   recurrent   infections   and   maturatio...

Hypoxia influences different cellular biological processes. To reveal the dynamics of hypoxia's effects on miRNA regulation in vivo, we examined the expression levels of all miRNAs in human brain and heart specimens from cases of mechanical asphyxia compared with those from cases of craniocerebral injury and hemorrhagic shock. We further validated differently expressed miRNAs in another 84 huma...

BACKGROUND G6PC3 deficiency is a new neutropenic syndrome, which is characterized by severe persistent neutropenia, early onset infections and additional organ involvement, especially cardiac and urogenital malformations. CASE PRESENTATION In this report, we present the clinical details of a recently known case of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) with G6PC3 mutation, who experienced the fi...

Background and aim: Glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 3 (G6PC3) has been recently described as a metabolite repair enzyme involved in the disposal of phosphorylated glucose analog 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5AG6P). This function is especially relevant neutrophils; indeed, G6PC3 deficiency leads to neutropenia accumulated 1,5AG6P inhibits first step glycolysis. Like neutrophils, tu...

Neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction are common in many diseases, although their etiology is often unclear. Previous views held that there was a single ER enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase-alpha (G6Pase-alpha), whose activity--limited to the liver, kidney, and intestine--was solely responsible for the final stages of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, in which glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is hydrol...

G6PC3 deficiency typically causes severe congenital neutropenia, associated with susceptibility to infections, cardiac and urogenital abnormalities. However, here we describe two boys of Pakistani origin who were found to have G6PC3 deficiency due to c.130 C>T mutation, but who have clinical phenotypes that are typical for a systemic autoinflammatory syndrome. The index case presented with comb...

severe  congenital  neutropenia  (scn)  is  a  rare  primary  immunodeficiency   disease. different genes are found to be associated with scn, including ela2, hax1, was, gfi1, g-csfr  and  g6pc3.  the  aim  of  this  study  was  to  find  different  gene  mutations responsible for scn in iranian patients. twenty-seven   patients   with   scn  referred   to  immunology,   asthma   and  allergy r...

Elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) has been associated with increased risk for development of type 2 diabetes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in G6PC2 are the most important common determinants of variations in FBG in humans. Studies using G6pc2 knockout mice suggest that G6pc2 regulates the glucose sensitivity of insulin secretion. G6PC2 and the related G6PC1 and G6PC3 genes encode g...
