| Hyposegmentation of Neutrophils Hyposegmented cells are neutrophils with fewer than three nuclear lobes. The nucleus may be round, peanut-shaped, band-shaped or bilobed. Since nuclear lobe development is abnormal, the chromatin structure often appears more mature than normal. It is sometimes very smooth, almost pyknotic. | View Page |
| Pelger-Huet Anomaly Pelger-Huet anomaly is the inherited form of neutrophilic hyposegmentation. Its transmittance is autosomal dominant and the anomaly is present in one out of 6000 people. When present, all of the neutrophils will be hyposegmented; however, the homozygous state will have increased number of cells with singular round nucleus and decreased numbers of the bilobed forms. | View Page |
