The most frequent form of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by inactivation of the CYBB gene, which encodes the gp91-phox subunit of phagocyte NADPH oxidase. This defect prevents phagocytes from producing reactive oxygen species and thus from eradicating bacterial and fungal infections.
## For the Immunogenetics Special Issue Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immunodeficiency caused by defects in any of four genes encoding components of the leukocyte nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate, reduced (NADPH) oxidase. One of these is the autosomal neutrophil cytosolic
