title: The molecular basis of leukocytosis.
abstract: The function of any known gene is often found by DNA or protein homology scanning. Conversely, it is equally rewarding to search for the genetic basis behind a known function. Here, Ghislain Opdenakker and colleagues examine the known and possible novel genes and molecular events underlying the phenomenon of leukocytosis, one of the most common clinical manifestations of inflammatory problems.
