(p47)-deficient chronic granulomatous disease: comprehensive genetic and flow cytometric analysis.

Mutations in (p47) cause autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) with abnormal dihydrorhodamine (DHR) assay and absent p47 protein. Genetic identification of mutations is complicated by adjacent highly conserved (>98%) pseudogenes ( and ). has GTGT at the start of exon 2, whereas the pseudogenes each delete 1 GT (ΔGT).

Vegan Nutrition for Mothers and Children: Practical Tools for Healthcare Providers.

As the number of subjects choosing vegan diets increases, healthcare providers must be prepared to give the best advice to vegan patients during all stages of life. A completely plant-based diet is suitable during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, and childhood, provided that it is well-planned. Balanced vegan diets meet energy requirements on a wide variety of plant foods and pay attention to some nutrients that may be critical, such as protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.
