Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic granulomatous disease is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by a defect in the ability of phagocytic cells to produce reactive oxygen species, leading to impaired killing of microorganisms and formation of granulomas. Chédiak-Higashi disease (A) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defects in lysosomal trafficking and fusion, leading to recurrent infections and impaired phagocytosis. Osteoporosis (B) is a condition characterized by decreased bone density and strength, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Alder-Reilly syndrome (D) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the accumulation of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate in various tissues, leading to developmental delay, skeletal abnormalities, and other symptoms. Hurler's syndrome (E) is another rare autosomal recessive disorder, caused by a deficiency of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase, leading to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in various tissues and organs, leading to developmental delay, physical deformities, and other symptoms.
