Preferred Label : Chediak-Higashi Syndrome;
NCIt definition : A rare autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disorder characterized by abnormal intracellular
protein transport. Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is characterized by immune deficiency;
partial oculocutaneous albinism; a bleeding disorder due to deficient platelet dense
bodies; neutropenia; neutrophils with impaired chemotaxis and bactericidal activity;
recurrent infection; and abnormal natural killer (NK) cell function. CHS may be associated
with hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, anemia, thrombocytopenia, roentgenologic
changes in bones, lungs and heart, and skin and psychomotor abnormalities; it is often
fatal in childhood as a result of infection or an accelerated lymphoma-like phase.
CHS occurs in mink, cattle, and mice, as well as man.;
