Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency
caused by defects in any one of 4 genes encoding phagocyte NADPH
oxidase subunits. Unlike other CGD subtypes, in which there is
great heterogeneity among mutations, 97% of affected
alleles in patients previously reported with A470 CGD
carry a single mutation, a GT deletion ( GT) in exon 2 of the
p47-phox gene, NCF-1. This unusually high
incidence results from recombination events between NCF-1
and its highly homologous pseudogenes, in which GT originates. In 50 consecutive patients with A470 CGD, 4 were identified who
were heterozygous for GT in NCF-1, and for the first
time, 2 were identified whose DNA appeared normal at this position. To
avoid co-amplification of pseudogene sequence and to enable the
identification of mutations in these patients, allele-specific
polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify alleles not containing
GT. In each of the 4 patients who were heterozygous for GT, an
additional novel mutation was identified. These were 2 missense
mutations, G125  A in exon 2 (predicting Arg42 Gln)
and G784 A in exon 8 (Gly262 Ser), and 2 splice junction mutations at the 5' end of intron 1, gt at and gtg gtt. The first of 2 patients who appeared normal at the GT position was a compound heterozygote with the G125 A transition on one allele and a deletion of G811 on the other. In the second of these patients, only a single defect was detected, G574 A,
which predicts Gly192 Ser but is likely to result in
defective splicing because it represents the final nucleotide of exon 6.
