BackgroundChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease that is characterized by susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections. Various mutations inCYBBencoding the gp91phoxsubunit of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase impair the respiratory burst of all types of phagocytic cells and result in X-linked CGD (X-CGD).PurposeWe here sought to evaluate the underlying cause in an attenuated phenotype in an X-CGD patient. The patient is a 31-year-old male who had been diagnosed as having X-CGD based on the absence of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and the presence of aCYBBmutation at the age of 1 year. He has been in good health after overcoming recurrent bacterial infections in infancy.MethodsWe investigated genomic DNA analysis ofCYBBgene, residual activity of NADPH oxidase, and expression of gp91phoxin both polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes/macrophages in the present patient.ResultsAlthough his underlying germline mutation, c.1016C>A (p.P339H) in theCYBBgene, was identified in both PMNs and monocytes, the expression and functional activity of gp91phoxretained in monocytes/macrophages, in stark contrast to markedly reduced PMNs.ConclusionsOur results indicate that residual reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) production in PMNs plays an important role in infantile stage in X-CGD, but thereafter retained function of monocytes/macrophages might compensate for the function of NADPH oxidase deficient PMNs and might be an important parameter for predicting the prognosis of X-CGD patients.
