Inheritance Pattern and Clinical Aspects of 93 Iranian Patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease

We studied CGD inheritance forms (autosomal recessive (AR) or X-linked (XL)) and AR-CGD subtypes in Iran. Methods Clinical and functional investigations were cond...

Zusammenfassung: | Background
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare immunodeficiency due to a genetic defect in one of the NADPH-oxidase components. We studied CGD inheritance forms (autosomal recessive (AR) or X-linked (XL)) and AR-CGD subtypes in Iran.
Methods
Clinical and functional investigations were conducted in 93 Iranian CGD patients from 75 families.
Results
Most of the patients were AR-CGD (87.1%). This was related to consanguineous marriages (

= 0.001). The age of onset of symptoms and diagnosis were lower in XL-CGD compared with AR-CGD (
