Nathan Pankratz, Santhi Ganesh and colleagues use exome chip data to identify rare and common variants influencing blood cell traits. They report associations at several loci, including a rare missense variant in S1PR4 associated with circulating neutrophil counts, and present functional studies supporting a role for S1PR4 in neutrophil recruitment and resolution in response to tissue injury.
