Fig 2 Investigation of NADPH pathway. Superoxide production in PMNs. Granulocytes from a normal control (C[+]), a patient with CGD (C[−]), the proband (P), and his mother (M) were activated with 40 ng/mL PMA for 30 minutes. NS, Not stimulated.

Fig 3 Intronic mutation in the CYBB gene. A, Schematic diagram of the relevant region in the CYBB gene. The crytic exons separating exons 4 and 5 and exons 4 and 6 are derived from intron 5 sequences. B, Predicted amino acid sequences showing the additional exons resulting in the premature termination of translation. C, Analysis of the genomic sequence of the CYBB gene. The patient carries a G>T mutation at position + 978 in intron 5. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples taken from a normal control (C) and the patient (P). D, Pedigree of the family. Each generation is designated by a Roman numeral (I, II), and each individual is represented as an Arabic numeral. The proband is represented by a black symbol and indicated by an arrow. The mother is an obligate carrier and is represented by the circle with a black arrow.
