of HPS in that it includes immunodeficiency in its phenotype, and patients with HPS2
have an increased susceptibility to infections due to congenital neutropenia (Jung
et al., 2006).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the adaptor-related protein complex 3, beta-1 subunit gene (AP3B1,
603401.0001);
