Abstract

BACKGROUND: P47phox (neutrophil cytosolic factor-1) deficiency is the most common cause of autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and is considered to be associated with a milder clinical phenotype. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for p47phox CGD is not well-described.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to study HCT for p47phox CGD in North America.

METHODS: Thirty patients with p47phox CGD who received allogeneic HCT at Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium centers since 1995 were included.

RESULTS: Residual oxidative activity was present in 66.7% of patients. In the year before HCT, there were 0.38 CGD-related infections per person-years. Inflammatory diseases, predominantly of the lungs and bowel, occurred in 36.7% of the patients. The median age at HCT was 9.1 years (range 1.5-23.6 years). Most HCTs (90%) were performed after using reduced intensity/toxicity conditioning. HCT sources were HLA-matched (40%) and -mismatched (10%) related donors or HLA-matched (36.7%) and -mismatched (13.3%) unrelated donors. CGD-related infections after HCT decreased significantly to 0.06 per person-years (P = .038). The frequency of inflammatory bowel disease and the use of steroids also decreased. The cumulative incidence of graft failure and second HCT was 17.9%. The 2-year overall and event-free survival were 92.3% and 82.1%, respectively, while at 5 years they were 85.7% and 77.0%, respectively. In the surviving patients evaluated, ≥95% donor myeloid chimerism at 1 and 2 years after HCT was 93.8% and 87.5%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with p47phox CGD suffer from a significant disease burden that can be effectively alleviated by HCT. Similar to other forms of CGD, HCT should be considered for patients with p47phox CGD.
