Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are currently no clinical and laboratory data that well characterize this neutropenia associated with the Duffy-null phenotype, particularly for pediatric subjects. In particular there are no data on the frequency of immune neutropenia in DANC neutropenic pediatric subjects.

The goal of this study is to :

* define the frequency of immune neutropenia within the cohort of DANC subjects under study
* evaluate the frequency of different degrees of neutropenia (mild-moderate-severe);
* evaluate the possible association between different degrees of neutropenia and the presence of infections.
