Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Chronic granulomatous disease studied, hybridization analysis reported
September 22nd, 2005
Recent research from the United States published in the Journal of Molecular Diagnosis has reported on long polymerase chain reaction-based fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of female carriers of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) deletions. "CGD is a rare inherited disorder in which antimicrobial activity of phagocytes is impaired due to the lack of reactive oxygen species, or oxidative burst, produced by NADPH oxidase. The X-linked form of CGD, representing approximately 70% of all cases, is caused by mutations in the cytochrome b beta subunit (CYBB) gene, which maps to chromosome Xp21.1," wrote K.C. Simon and colleagues, Georgetown...
