Genetic analysis of 13 families with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease reveals a low proportion of sporadic patients and a high proportion of sporadic carriers.

Abstract excerpt

X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) is the most common type of CGD, whose responsible gene has been identified and termed as CYBB, according to the gp91-phox, a subunit of cytochrome b558. Although approximately 200 different mutations of the gp91-phox gene have been reported, no precise study of the proportion of sporadic cases in X-CGD, based on molecular genetic analysis, has been reported. We made...
