Chronic granulomatous disease: the European experience. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Atypical Presentation of Chronic Granulomatous Disease in a Child

open access: yesAtti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti - Classe di Scienze Medico-Biologiche, 2017
Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare, inherited immunodeficiency caused by deletions or mutations in genes that encode subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex. The pattern of chronic granulomatous disease inheritance can be X-linked (about 70% of cases)
