The study included 126 patients with suspected congenital neutropenia recruited in 2008\u20132019 and 291 patients recruited in 2020\u20132023 as part of the FixNet project, which featured a nationwide information campaign. Molecular analyses were performed using Sanger sequencing (91 patients) and targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) (326 patients) in a panel of neutropenia-related genes. The information campaign significantly increased the number of referred patients from 10.5 per year to 72.75 per year. Based on the results obtained, 102 patients belonging to 80 different families were diagnosed with severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) and neutropenia-related syndromes, the majority (43%) of whom harbored variants in the\n                    <jats:italic>ELANE<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene, including 12 novel ones.
