Inherited p40phox deficiency differs from classic chronic granulomatous disease
Biallelic loss-of-function (LOF) mutations of the NCF4 gene, encoding the p40phox subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, have been described in only 1 patient. We report on 24 p40phox-deficient patients from 12 additional families in 8 countries.

A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

BCGiosis as a presenting feature of a child with chronic granulomatous disease
Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccine, which is administered to all newborns in some regions, could lead to serious complication ranging from local disease (known as BCGitis) to disseminated disease (BCGosis) in a group of patients with primary ...

Chronic Granulomatous Disease: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Genetic Basis of Disease
Chronic Granulomatous Disease is one of the classic primary immunodeficiencies of childhood. While the incidence and severity of bacterial and fungal infections have been greatly reduced in this patient population, much remains to be learned about the ...

Noninfectious Manifestations and Complications of Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a primary immunodeficiency characterized by a deficient neutrophil oxidative burst and the inadequate killing of microbes, is well known to cause a significantly increased risk of invasive infection.

Chronic granulomatous disease: why an inflammatory disease?
Chronic granulomatous disease is a primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the genes encoding subunits of the phagocytic NADPH oxidase system. Patients can present with severe, recurrent infections and noninfectious conditions.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare disease in China, and very little large‐scale studies have been conducted to date. We aimed to investigate the clinical and genetic features of CGD in Chinese pediatric patients.
