Understanding DANC

This educational program aims to improve awareness and understanding of Duffy null associated neutrophil count (DANC), a common and under-recognized source of health inequality worldwide. Through patient case studies, it will explain how to distinguish DANC from pathological neutropenia, and guide learners through its genetic basis and possible mechanisms.
