CGD is a life-threatening congenital disorder that causes patients, mainly children, to be vulnerable to severe, recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. This results in frequent and prolonged hospitalizations and commonly results in death. Severe, malignant osteopetrosis is a life-threatening, congenital disorder that mainly affects children. This disease results in increased susceptibility to infection and an overgrowth of bony structures that might lead to blindness and/or deafness. The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products.
