Genetics of CGD

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is not contagious. It’s a genetic condition that is passed down through generations of family members.

When someone in your family has been diagnosed with CGD, it’s important to understand how this can impact your family’s health. Research, family conversations, and eventually testing can help uncover more information about who else could be affected by CGD.

Who is at risk for CGD?

If one person in the family is diagnosed, it’s likely others have CGD. The mapping of your family tree may help identify family members who should get tested.

Testing immediate and extended family can help find out who:

  • Icon of clockHas not been diagnosed yet
  • Shuffle iconMay have been misdiagnosed with another condition

Testing and receiving a correct diagnosis may help with potential treatment, future planning, and avoiding serious* infections.

*An infection is serious if you have to go to the hospital and/or get intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
