EROS/CYBC1 mutations: Decreased NADPH oxidase function and chronic granulomatous disease

J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2019 Feb;143(2):782-785.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.jaci.2018.09.019. Epub 2018 Oct 9.

Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time that EROS (CYBC1/C17ORF62) regulates abundance of the gp91phox-p22phox heterodimer of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase in human cells and that EROS mutations are a novel cause of chronic granulomatous disease.
