Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited immunodeficiency syndrome that results from abnormal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase function. This defect leads to recurrent catalase-positive bacterial and fungal infections as well as associated granuloma formation. We review the case of a 2-year-old boy who presented with ascites and fever of an unknown origin as manifestations of CGD. Cultures were negative for infection throughout his course, and CGD was suspected after identification of granulomas on peritoneal biopsy. Genetic testing revealed a novel mutation in the CYBB gene underlying his condition. This paper highlights the importance of considering CGD in the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin and ascites in children.

Abstract Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a group of inherited disorders in which phagocytic cells fail to generate antimicrobial oxidants. The various forms of CGD can be classified in terms of the mode of inheritance (either X-linked or autosomal recessive), and whether the neutrophils display the absorbance spectrum of a unique b-type cytochrome important for the function of the respiratory burst oxidase. The finding that purified neutrophil cytochrome b is a heterodimer consisting of a 91kD glycosylated and a 22kD nonglycosylated polypeptide has raised the question of which subunits are absent (or defective) in the various types of CGD. To address this question we have studied the expression of the cytochrome b subunits in three genetically distinct forms of CGD: X-linked/cytochrome b-negative (X-), autosomal recessive/cytochrome b-negative (A-), and autosomal recessive/cytochrome b-positive (A+). Using polyclonal antibodies to each of the two subunits, we prepared Western blots of lysates of intact neutrophils from ten CGD patients. In the controls and three patients with A+ CGD, both cytochrome subunits were easily detected. Consistent with the previously reported finding in five X- patients, neither subunit could be identified in neutrophils from three additional X- patients. Both subunits were also undetectable in four patients with A- CGD (three females, one male). This latter group of patients most likely bears a normal 91kD gene, since the patients are genetically distinct from the 91kD-defective X- group. The mutation in A- CGD, therefore, probably involves the 22kD gene and the eventual expression of the 22kD subunit. Furthermore, the expression of the 91kD subunit in this group of patients appears to be prevented due to the 22kD mutation in a manner converse to that seen in the X- CGD patients. Based on these studies, we hypothesize that the stable of expression of either of the two cytochrome subunits is dependent upon the other.

Abstract Most patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) have mutations in the X-linked CYBB gene that encodes gp91phox, a component of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. The resulting X-linked form of CGD is usually manifested in boys. Rarely, X-CGD is encountered in female carriers with extreme expression of the mutated gene. Here, we report on a woman with a novel mutation in CYBB (CCG[90-92] → GGT), predicting Tyr30Arg31 → stop, Val in gp91phox, who presented with clinical symptoms at the age of 66. The mutation was present in heterozygous form in genomic DNA from her leukocytes but was fully expressed in mRNA from these cells, indicating that in her leukocytes the X chromosome carrying the nonmutated CYBB allele had been inactivated. Indeed, only 0.4% to 2% of her neutrophils showed NADPH oxidase activity. This extreme skewing of her X-chromosome inactivation was not found in her cheek mucosal cells and is thus not due to a general defect in gene methylation on one X chromosome. Moreover, the CYBB mutation was not present in the DNA from her cheek cells and was barely detectable in the DNA from her memory T lymphocytes. Thus, this patient shows a somatic mosaic for the CYBB mutation, which probably originated during her lifetime in her bone marrow.
