New study digs into mysterious low white blood cell counts in kids

NCT ID NCT06547931

First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looked at 150 children with a genetic trait called Duffy-null, which can cause naturally low neutrophil counts (a type of white blood cell). Researchers wanted to find out how many of these children also have an immune system that attacks their own neutrophils, and whether different levels of low counts are linked to more infections. The goal is to better understand this condition and guide doctors on when to worry.
