| Abstract | Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease that is characterized by susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections. Various mutations in CYBB encoding the gp91$^{phox}$ subunit 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).We 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 a CYBB mutation at the age of 1 year. He has been in good health after overcoming recurrent bacterial infections in infancy.We investigated genomic DNA analysis of CYBB gene, residual activity of NADPH oxidase, and expression of gp91$^{phox}$ in both polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes/macrophages in the present patient.Although his underlying germline mutation, c.1016C>A (p.P339H) in the CYBB gene, was identified in both PMNs and monocytes, the expression and functional activity of gp91$^{phox}$ retained in monocytes/macrophages, in stark contrast to markedly reduced PMNs.Our 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. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
