Congenital Phagocyte Defect IEIs (IUIS Table 5)

IUIS Table 5 — congenital defects of phagocyte number or function. These inborn errors of immunity impair the neutrophil/monocyte/macrophage compartment, either quantitatively (congenital neutropenia) or qualitatively (defective respiratory burst, adhesion, or chemotaxis). The characteristic clinical signature is recurrent deep bacterial and fungal infection — classically staphylococcal, Burkholderia, Nocardia, Serratia and Aspergillus — with abscess and granuloma formation rather than the viral and opportunistic susceptibility of T-cell disease.

Shared Mechanism Shared Phenotype

Why this grouping

Grouped on the IUIS Table 5 phagocyte-compartment lesion. Members are kept as separate Disease entries because the defect sits at a different point in phagocyte biology — CGD abolishes the NOX2 respiratory burst in a phagocyte that is present in normal numbers, whereas G6PC3 deficiency depletes the neutrophil itself through a metabolite-repair failure. Grouping them records that "phagocyte defect" is a compartment, not a mechanism: number and function are separate axes within the table and members may sit on either. No MONDO mapping: the Orphanet-derived grouping term for this table, MONDO:0015133 (quantitative and/or qualitative congenital phagocyte defect), is obsolete, and MONDO:0005910 (phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction) covers only the functional axis, so it would silently exclude the neutropenia members.

Membership criteria

NECESSARY  (member ⇒ criteria)
A disorder belongs to IUIS Table 5 if it is an inborn error of immunity whose primary lesion is in the number or the function of phagocytes (neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils).
  • HAS CLASSIFICATION
    Assigned to IUIS Table 5 (congenital defects of phagocyte number or function) via classifications.iuis_category on the member Disease entry. Stated in the keyed `<slot>:<value>` form so the audit reads the structured classifications block.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease DISEASE
Differentiating mechanism
Defects in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase (NOX2) complex abolish the respiratory burst, so phagocytes are present in normal numbers but cannot kill ingested catalase-positive bacteria and fungi. The functional axis of Table 5, and the member whose second phenotype — sterile granuloma and inflammatory bowel disease — comes from failed resolution of inflammation rather than from infection.

Differentiating mechanism
Biallelic G6PC3 loss is a metabolite-repair failure: unhydrolyzed 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate accumulates in granulocytes, inhibits hexokinase and stalls early glycolysis, causing neutrophil dysfunction and neutropenia. The quantitative axis of Table 5, and the member that shows a housekeeping enzymopathy reaching the immune system through a cell-type-specific metabolic vulnerability. G6PC3 hgnc:24861

  Created 2026-08-20 to give the IUIS Table 5 disorders a place in the Inborn
  Errors of Immunity tree; both members already carried
  `classifications.iuis_category: phagocyte defect` but were unreachable from
  the umbrella grouping. Intentionally unmapped to MONDO — see
  grouping_rationale. Audit with
  `uv run python scripts/grouping_mondo_gaps.py --grouping "Inborn"`.
