Abstract excerpt
The most common, X-linked, form of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by mutations in the CYBB gene located at Xp21.1. The product of this gene is the large subunit of flavocytochrome b558, gp91phox, which forms the catalytic core of the antimicrobial superoxide-generating enzyme, NADPH oxidase. In the overwhelming majority of cases, mutations are family-specific and occur in the exonic regions of the...
