Abstract

NCF1is frequently found, leading to CGD. The same mutation is found in about 1% of Ashkenazi Jews, although Ashkenazi CGD patients with this mutation have never been described. phoxexpression. NCF1with a pseudogene. These results point to the existence of a 'false-carrier' state in Ashkenazi Jews and have wide implications regarding pre-pregnancy screening in this and other population groups
