Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disorder of
phagocytes in which defective production of microbicidal oxidants leads
to severe recurrent infections. CGD is caused by mutations in any of 4 genes encoding components of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
phosphate (reduced form; NADPH) oxidase, the multisubunit enzyme that
produces the precursor of these oxidants, superoxide. Approximately 5%
of CGD patients have an autosomal recessive form of disease caused by a
severe deficiency of p67-phox, a 526-amino acid subunit of the
oxidase that appears to regulate electron transport within the enzyme.
Here we report the biochemical and molecular characterization of 6 unrelated kindreds with p67-phox deficiency. These studies show
that, as in gp91-phox and p22-phox deficiencies, the
p67-phox CGD patients show a high degree of heterogeneity in
the genetic defects that underlie their disease. Five different mutant
alleles were identified: (1) a nonsense mutation in exon 4 (C304  T); (2) a 5-nucleotide (nt) deletion in
exon 13 (nts 1169-1173); (3) a splice mutation in the first nucleotide
of intron 4 (G A); (4) a deletion of 1 nt in exon 9 (A728); and (5) a 9-nt in-frame deletion in exon 2 (nts
55-63). The splice mutation was seen in 3 unrelated kindreds, while the 5-nt deletion was seen in 2 apparently unrelated families (both of
Palestinian origin). Homozygosity was present in 4 of the kindreds, 2 of which had consanguineous parentage. In the isolated neutrophils of
each of the affected patients in the 6 kindreds, there was no
measurable respiratory burst activity and no p67-phox protein detected by immunoblot analysis. The level of 67-phox mRNA was less than 10% of normal in the mononuclear leukocytes from 3 of the 4 patients analyzed by Northern blot studies. Thus, this heterogeneous group of mutations in p67-phox all lead to marked instability of mRNA or protein (or both) that results in the complete loss of NADPH
oxidase activity.
