Role of Flow Cytometry in the Diagnosis of Chronic Granulomatous Disease: the Egyptian Experience

Abstract: In countries with limited resources and yet large number of CGD patients, the analysis of the defective proteins by flow cytometry is an optimum solution for confirming the diagnosis and is a step for targeted sequencing in families seeking prenatal diagnosis.

“…have reported, X‐linked CGD is caused by a great variety of mutations, including deletions, splice site mutations and missense or nonsense mutations . Early diagnosis of CGD is vital for appropriate therapeutic care and improving prognosis . Hawary and colleagues have reported using flow cytometry with dihydrorhodamine 123 to analyze NADPH components in patients diagnosed as having CGD and their results have been confirmed by targeted Sanger sequencing .…”

“…Three Mediterranean cohorts—from Egypt, Tunisia and Israel—have been published recently. The Egyptian cohort of 28 patients showed a predominance of AR-CGD (82%), mainly due to mutations in CYBA 15 . Whilst infection was the most common presentation, BCG complications were less common and inflammatory complications were reported in this paediatric cohort.…”
