title: Familial severe congenital neutropenia associated with infantile osteoporosis: a new entity.
abstract: A new entity manifested by severe congenital neutropenia associated with osteoporosis and recurrent bone fracture is described in a family. A possible role for a new recognized cytokine system involved in bone remodeling, the osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand, is suggested.
