Abstrakt: The article discusses a novel hypomorphic variant in the CYBB gene that causes chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) with incomplete penetrance. CGD is a rare genetic disorder that leads to recurrent infections and inflammatory complications. The variant identified in this study results in reduced NADPH oxidase activity, affecting patients differently, with some showing severe symptoms while others remain asymptomatic. The findings highlight the importance of considering both immunological assays and clinical symptoms for appropriate therapeutic decisions in CGD patients. [Extracted from the article]
