Chédiak-Higashi syndrome ( CHS CHS Cannabinoids) is an autosomal recessive Autosomal recessive Autosomal inheritance, both dominant and recessive, refers to the transmission of genes from the 22 autosomal chromosomes. Autosomal recessive diseases are only expressed when 2 copies of the recessive allele are inherited. Autosomal Recessive and Autosomal Dominant Inheritance disorder caused by mutations affecting a lysosomal trafficking regulator protein. This protein plays a crucial role in the inability of neutrophils Neutrophils Granular leukocytes having a nucleus with three to five lobes connected by slender threads of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing fine inconspicuous granules and stainable by neutral dyes. Innate Immunity: Phagocytes and Antigen Presentation to kill phagocytosed microbes. Patients Patients Individuals participating in the health care system for the purpose of receiving therapeutic, diagnostic, or preventive procedures. Clinician–Patient Relationship with CHS CHS Cannabinoids exhibit recurrent pyogenic infections Infections Invasion of the host organism by microorganisms or their toxins or by parasites that can cause pathological conditions or diseases. Chronic Granulomatous Disease, easy bleeding and bruising, and neurologic manifestations. The syndrome is also associated with oculocutaneous albinism Oculocutaneous albinism Heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders comprising at least four recognized types, all having in common varying degrees of hypopigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. The two most common are the tyrosinase-positive and tyrosinase-negative types. Albinism. The diagnosis is made based on analysis of the patient’s blood or bone marrow Bone marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells. Bone Marrow: Composition and Hematopoiesis smear and genetic testing Genetic Testing Detection of a mutation; genotype; karyotype; or specific alleles associated with genetic traits, heritable diseases, or predisposition to a disease, or that may lead to the disease in descendants. It includes prenatal genetic testing. Myotonic Dystrophies. The treatment of choice is allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Signs and symptoms that usually appear soon after birth include the following:
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome ( CHS CHS Cannabinoids) can progress to the accelerated phase Accelerated phase The phase of chronic myeloid leukemia following the chronic phase, where there are increased systemic symptoms, worsening cytopenias, and refractory leukocytosis. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or lymphoma-like syndrome, where defective WBCs divide uncontrollably and undergo metastasis Metastasis The transfer of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site. Grading, Staging, and Metastasis. Signs and symptoms include:
