Abstract:
Eight female members of a family with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease were identified. Five were shown to be carriers of the disease gene. Each of these female carriers of the gene had a history of skin eruptions. The identification of the carrier state is important as genetic counselling should be offered and the prenatal diagnosis of this disorder is possible.
