Özet

Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder of phagocytes resulting in impaired killing of bacteria and fungi. A mutation in one of the 4 genes encoding the components p22(phox), p47(phox), p67(phox), and p40(phox) of the leukocyte nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate reduced (NADPH) oxidase leads to autosomal recessive (AR) CGD. A mutation in the CYBB gene encoding gp91(phox) leads to X-linked recessive CGD.

Background

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder of phagocytes resulting in impaired killing of bacteria and fungi. A mutation in one of the 4 genes encoding the components p22phox, p47phox, p67phox, and p40phox of the leukocyte nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate reduced (NADPH) oxidase leads to autosomal recessive (AR) CGD. A mutation in the CYBB gene encoding gp91phox leads to X-linked recessive CGD.

Objective

The aim of this study is to show the correlation between clinical, functional, and genetic data of patients with CGD from Turkey.

Methods

We report here the results of 89 patients with CGD from 73 Turkish families in a multicenter study.

Results

Most of the families (55%) have an AR genotype, and 38% have an X-linked genotype; patients from 5 families with a suspected AR genotype (7%) were not fully characterized. We compared patients with CGD according to the severity of NADPH oxidase deficiency of neutrophils. Patients with A220, A670 or X910 phenotypes with a stimulation index of 1.5 or less have early clinical presentation and younger age at diagnosis (mean, 3.2 years). However, in p47phox-deficient cases and in 5 other AR cases with high residual oxidase activity (stimulation index ≥ 3), later and less severe clinical presentation and older age at diagnosis (mean, 7.1 years) were found. Pulmonary involvement was the most common clinical feature, followed by lymphadenitis and abscesses.

Conclusion

Later and less severe clinical presentation and older age at diagnosis are related to the residual NADPH oxidase activity of neutrophils and not to the mode of inheritance. CGD caused by A220 and A670 subtypes manifests as severe as the X910 subtype.
