Expanced article...please contact me with any suggestions, questions, or comments.--Jfurr1981 04:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments

The following sentence could be reworded for clarity:

• X-linked Chronic Granulomatous disease: defect in membrane NADPH oxidase. Autosomal Recessive Chronic Granulomatous disease: defect in cytoplasmic NADPH oxidase.

In the news article it says that 3 people were recruited to the gene therapy trial, the article says 2. --apers0n 15:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

For first read:

• no external links
• a reference for NBT would be useful
• "X-linked Chronic Granulomatous disease: defect in membrane NADPH oxidase. Autosomal Recessive Chronic Granulomatous disease: defect in cytoplasmic NADPH oxidase." sentence should written ina better prose sytle.

Re: Suggestions

Reworked the genetics and therapy (specifically gene therapy) sections, added external links and an infobox, and added a reference for the NBT test. Thanks for the input AspersOn and NCurse.Jfurr1981 13:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Good article nomination

My suggestions:

• "CGD affects about 1 in 200,000 people in the United States, with at least 20 new cases diagnosed each year." (a reference would be useful)

  Fixed.

• section Genetics: Image:X-link dominant father.jpg, Image:XlinkRecessive.jpg, Image:Xlink dominant mother.jpg?

  Added pictures.

• "A low level of NADPH, the cofactor required for superoxide synthesis, can lead to CGD. This has been reported in women who are homozygous for the genetic defect causing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD), which is characterised by reduced NADPH levels." (reference?)

  Can't find source for the whole cite but both lines are mentioned throughout the literature.

• "Thus, CGD should be considered as a diagnosis in patients with an Aspergillus infection whose cause in unknown." (reference?)

  Removed.

• a cytochrome C reduction assay reference would be useful too

  Unnecessary, this part is understandable in its own.

Anyway great article! NCurse _work 17:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

GA awarded

After re-reviewing the article and adding the necessary stuff requested by NCurse, it compares with the GA criteria by passing all of them. It might not be a long article but it covers the most important topics for now. An expansion would still be of use but it is a good article after all. Lincher 02:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. :) NCurse _work 11:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

phagocyte NADPH oxidase - or NADPH oxidase complex containing several PHOX'es?

Phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages) require an enzyme to produce reactive oxygen species to destroy bacteria after they ingest the bacteria in a process called phagocytosis. This enzyme is termed "phagocyte NADPH oxidase" (PHOX)

- I googled a little and find mentions of either NADPH oxidase complex or of phagocyte oxidase (PHOX) subinits of this complex. Maybe there's a little mistake here. Best regards, CopperKettle (talk) 13:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
