Chronic granulomatous disease is an X-linked or auto somal recessive condition that affects approximately 1 in 200,000-250,000 live births.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare genetic condition where nicotinamide adenine dineucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex fails to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the activated neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages.1 CGD is a single gene defect; either X-linked recessive (XR - CGD) in 60% of the cases or autosomal recessive (AR - CGD) in 40% of the cases.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immune deficiency condition that may present with variable systemic signs and symptoms, characterized by recurrent infections.

Mustafa was diagnosed with
chronic granulomatous disease in 2013 and received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from a unrelated European donor in April this year, spending months in isolation, before moving to a halfway house.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a fatal primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the genes encoding subunits of the NADPH oxidase system, which consists of five subunits.
