Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disorder caused by mutations in the subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex, leaving phagocytes unable to produce superoxide and thereby unable to kill invading microorganisms. A subgroup of CGD patients (approximately 20%) is reported to have mutations in NCF-1 encoding p47-phox, which is part of the cytosolic component of NADPH oxidase. More than 94%...
