[CIS-PAGID] Neutrophil Migration Assay. .

[Conley, Mary Ellen]

Thanks to Jack and Ron,
But wouldn't you agree the chemotaxis was not the sole or most reliable abnormality? In both setting, this might be considered a research study.

We helped in the identification of two patients with a Rac2 mutations with impaired chemotaxis and reported each:

Like Charlotte, I was wondering why you wanted to look at chemotaxis.
What do people think are the indications for this assay and are there any treatable disorders in which chemotaxis is the sole or most reliable abnormality?

I think that CHOP does but I can't think of a use for it
