Abstract
Duffy-null phenotype-associated neutropenia was present in 77.7% of leukopenia/neutropenia referrals to our center in Detroit with a high prevalence in Yemeni (96.6%), African American (91%), and non-Yemeni Middle Eastern (52.9%) patients. Greater availability of Duffy typing in patients with neutropenia but without recurrent/frequent/serious infections may lessen the need for additional consultations and investigations.
