Chronic granulomatous disease: the European experience. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
CGD is an immunodeficiency caused by deletions or mutations in genes that encode subunits of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase complex. Normally, assembly of the NADPH oxidase complex in phagosomes of certain phagocytic cells leads to a "respiratory burst ...

Inherited p40phox deficiency differs from classic chronic granulomatous disease [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2018
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.

Cellular Therapies in Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become the main curative treatment in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). CGD is caused by inherited defects of the phagolysomal NADPH-oxidase, leading to a lifelong propensity ...

Recent advances in chronic granulomatous disease

Genes and Diseases, 2020
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited defect of phagocyte function due to defective NADPH oxidase. Patients with CGD are not able to effectively clear the infections because of the defect in the phagocyte production of oxygen free radicals ...

Second Report of Chronic Granulomatous Disease in Jordan: Clinical and Genetic Description of 31 Patients From 21 Different Families, Including Families From Lybia and Iraq

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Chronic granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare innate immunodeficiency disorder caused by mutations in one of the six genes (CYBA, CYBB, NCF1, NCF2, NCF4, and CYBC1/EROS) encoding the superoxide-producing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)
