Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare, inherited genetic disorder.
On this page we have assembled resources for Primary Care Physicians to find out more about CGD—how to diagnose it, how to advise patients and their families and potential curative options. Introductory questions can be found towards the top of the page; more in-depth questions can be found here.
The short introduction below is from world-leading expert in CGD Dr. Harry Malech of the National Institutes for Health in Bethesda, MD, USA.
