Chronic granulomatous disease
Alternative names:
CGD
Prevention:
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of chronic granulomatous disease. Advances in genetic screening and increasing use of chorionic villus sampling have made early recognition of chronic granulomatous disease feasible, although the practice is not yet widespread or fully accepted. Carrier status in the female can be identified by testing.
