Human genes for chronic granulomatous disease

Chronic granulomatous disease [DOID:3265]

A phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction characterized by an inability to resist repeated infectious diseases and a tendency to develop chronic inflammation. Life-threatening recurrent fungal and bacterial infections affecting the skin, lungs, liver, lymph nodes, and bones may occur along with swollen areas of inflamed tissues known as granulomas that can be widely distributed.

The disease-gene associations are derived from automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, manually curated database annotations, cancer mutation data, and genome-wide association studies. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest.
