Summary Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a key regulator of granulopoiesis via stimulation of a specific cell-surface receptor, the G-CSF-R, found on hematopoietic progenitor cells as well as neutrophilic granulocytes. It is perhaps not surprising, therefore, that mutations of the G-CSF-R has been implicated in several clinical settings that affect granulocytic differentiation, particularly severe congenital neutropenia, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. However, other studies suggest that signalling via the G-CSF-R is also involved in a range of other malignancies. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms through which the G-CSF-R contributes to disease.
