Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the elastase 2, neutrophil (ELA2) gene, located at chromosome 19p13.3, which is involved in the destruction of tissue at the sites of inflammation and is a target for protease inhibition by alpha-1-antitrypsin. Mutations at this locus have been identified in most patients with cyclic hematopoiesis and congenital neutropenia (ELA2-related neutropenia).
