This meta-analysis aimed to assess the clinical effects of G-CSF and non-G-CSF on recovery duration in patients with ATD-induced agranulocytosis by analyzing the overall clinical outcomes.
Considering all data from 1660 patients treated with ATD for a mean duration of 5.8 years (around 10,000 patient-years), major complications occurred only in 14 patients: 7 severe agranulocytosis, 5 severe liver damage, one ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and one vasculitis with small cutaneous ulcerations.
Agranulocytosis (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] nadir < 100 cells/mm<sup>3</sup>) developed in 49% of cases (n = 18), and there was an ANC nadir of 0 in 27% (n = 10).
ATD-induced agranulocytosis was associated with HLA-B*27:05 (OR 10.97; 95% CI 0.75-159.99), HLA-B*38:02 (OR 19.85; 95% CI 7.94-49.57) and HLA-DRB1*08:03 (OR 5.29; 95% CI 3.44-8.14).

Our findings indicate that genetic variations in the FMO3 gene are associated with the response to ATDs maintenance treatment in ATD-induced agranulocytosis patients of -Chinese Han population.
A longer duration of coagulation dysfunction (9.80±5.51 vs. 6.80±4.21 days; P=0.002) and agranulocytosis (18.89±8.79 vs. 12.03±8.34 days; P<0.01), and a higher incidence of grade IV-V infections (22.73 vs. 7.25%; P=0.018) were observed in the PEG asparaginase group.

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region has been associated with genetic susceptibility to clozapine-induced agranulocytosis (single amino acid changes in HLA-DQB1 (126Q) and HLA-B (158T)).

The reduction of the clozapine nitrenium ion supports association studies showing that NQO2 is a genetic risk factor for clozapine-induced agranulocytosis.
In ATD-induced agranulocytosis, expression of the miR-17-92 cluster is reduced in both serum and granulocytes, though this alteration does not correlate with bone marrow characteristics or thyroid function.
A previously healthy 11-month-old girl referred to our hospital because of fever, leukopenia, and elevated C-reactive protein presented to us with disturbance of consciousness, tachycardia, tachypnea and agranulocytosis.
