Patients can succumb to bacterial infections because their immune systems lack a molecule
required by immune cells, specifically neutrophils, to go to the site of infection.

The function of these genes were involved in molecular maintenance strategies, such as DNA repair, chromosomal maintenance,
immune response and programmed
cell death The authors argue that the «slower rate of change in these functions is consistent with increased constraint on somatic
cell maintenance as would be
required in these relatively long - lived and large - bodied mammals, illustrated
by the additional large and long - lived species with slower rates in these genes (e.g. double - strand break repair gene XRCC4 is also highly constrained in elephant.»
