Exon count 8 8 14 12 15
Protein CYBC1/Eros Rac2-GTPase G6PD MPO GSS
Protein location Endoplasmic reticulum Cytosol Cytosol Granule lumen Cytosol, nucleus, mitochondria
Frequency Rare Rare Severe deficiency is rare Common but unlikely to cause CGD-like features Rare
Inheritance AR AD XR AR AR
Clinical severity Few cases described Few cases described Spectrum from mild to severe Asymptomatic or susceptible to Candida Spectrum from mild to severe

Notes Also regulates expression of proteins other than gp91phox-p22phox, e.g., P2X7 Also associated with abnormalities of neutrophil chemotaxis and lymphocyte function Mild cases: relatively common but lack CGD-like features
Severe cases: generally mild CGD features
Rarely solely responsible for immunodeficiency Mild cases: haemolytic anaemia only
Moderate: metabolic acidosis
Severe: progressive neurological dysfunction and infection susceptibility
