Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is characterized by the failure of activated phagocytes to generate superoxide. Defects in at least four different genes lead to CGD. Patients with the X-linked form of CGD have mutations in the gene for the beta-subunit of cytochrome b[sub 558] (gp91-phox). Patients with a rare autosomal recessive form of CGD have mutations in the gene for the alpha-subunit of this cytochrome (p22-phox). Usually, this leads to the absence of cytochrome b[sub 558] in the phagocytes (A22[sup 0] CGD). The authors studied the molecular defect in five European patients from three unrelated families with this type of CGD. P22-phox mRNA was reverse-transcribed, and the coding region was amplified by PCR in one fragment and sequenced. Three patients from one family, with parents that were first cousins, were homozygous for a single base substitution (G-297[yields]A) resulting in a nonconservative amino acid change (Arg-90-Gln). This mutation was previously found in a compound heterozygote A22[sup 0] CGD patient. Another patient, also from first-cousin parents, was homozygous for an A-309[yields]G mutation in the open reading frame that predicts a nonconservative amino acid replacement (His-94[yields]Arg). The fifth patient was also born from a first-cousin marriage and was shown to be homozygous for the absence of exon 4 from the cDNA. In this patient, a G[yields]A substitution was found at position 1 one intron 4 in the genomic DNA. Therefore, the absence of exon 4 in the cDNA of this patient is due to a splicing error. Two additional polymorphisms were also identified - one silent mutation in the open reading frame (G-508[l arrow][r arrow]A) and one A-640[l arrow][r arrow]G mutation in the 3'untranslated region of the p22-phox mRNA. This last mutation destroys a DraIII recognition site and is therefore potentially useful for RFLP analysis of CGD families. 22 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
