As a result of the reduced ability of phagocytes in CGD to clear infections, patients can suffer from troublesome, recurrent infections and inflammation.

The projects we fund are finding better ways of treating inflammation in CGD through understanding the way that normal cells clear infection and comparing it with cells carrying the mutations that cause CGD.

Stimulating further research

Over the last three years our seed corn funding in this area has had enormous impact leading to an extra $4.55 M in research funds being awarded by the National Institutes of Health to continue this important work.
