Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare immunodeficiency due to a genetic defect in one of the NADPH-oxidase components. We studied CGD inheritance forms (autosomal recessive (AR) or X-linked (XL)) and AR-CGD subtypes in Iran.
Clinical and functional investigations were conducted in 93 Iranian CGD patients from 75 families.
Most of the patients were AR-CGD (87.1%). This was related to consanguineous marriages (p = 0.001). The age of onset of symptoms and diagnosis were lower in XL-CGD compared with AR-CGD (p < 0.0001 for both). Among AR-CGD patients, p47phox defect was the predominant subtype (55.5%). The most common clinical features in patients were lymphadenopathy (65.6%) and pulmonary involvement (57%). XL-CGD patients were affected more frequently with severe infectious manifestations.
Although XL-CGD is the most common type of the disease worldwide, only 12 patients (12.9%) were XL-CGD in our study. The relatively high frequency of AR-CGD is probable due to widely common consanguineous marriages in Iran.
慢性肉芽肿病(CGD)是一种罕见的免疫缺陷病,由于 NADPH-氧化酶成分之一的遗传缺陷所致。我们在伊朗研究了 CGD 的遗传形式(常染色体隐性(AR)或 X 连锁(XL))和 AR-CGD 亚型。
对来自 75 个家庭的 93 名伊朗 CGD 患者进行了临床和功能研究。
大多数患者为 AR-CGD(87.1%)。这与近亲结婚有关(p = 0.001)。XL-CGD 患者的症状和诊断年龄较 AR-CGD 患者小(p < 0.0001)。在 AR-CGD 患者中,p47phox 缺陷是主要亚型(55.5%)。患者最常见的临床特征是淋巴结病(65.6%)和肺部受累(57%)。XL-CGD 患者更常出现严重的感染表现。
尽管 XL-CGD 是世界范围内最常见的疾病类型,但在我们的研究中只有 12 名患者(12.9%)为 XL-CGD。AR-CGD 频率较高可能是由于伊朗广泛存在的近亲结婚。
