ABSTRACT
AbstractChronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is an inborn error of immunity characterised by opportunistic infection and sterile granulomatous inflammation. CGD is caused by a failure of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. Mutations in the genes encoding phagocyte NADPH oxidase subunits cause CGD. We and others have described a novel form of CGD (CGD5) secondary to lack of EROS (CYBC1), a highly selective chaperone for gp91phox. EROS-deficient cells express minimal levels of gp91phoxand its binding partner p22phox, but EROS also controls the expression of other proteins such as P2×7. The full nature of CGD5 is currently unknown. We describe a homozygous frameshift mutation inCYBC1leading to CGD. Individuals who are heterozygous for this mutation are found in South Asian populations (allele frequency = 0.00006545), thus it is not a private mutation. Therefore, it is likely to be the underlying cause of other cases of CGD.
