BACKGROUND: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare genetic disorder that causes primary immunodeficiency. In addition to increasing infection susceptibility in various bodily systems, several ocular manifestations have been described in males. This condition is well described in males, due to its X-linked recessive inheritance. However, here we present, to our knowledge, the first cases of X-linked CGD chorioretinitis in female carriers, possibly due to skewed X-inactivation (lyonization). METHODS: Comprehensive multimodal imaging, including color fundus photography, short-wavelength autofluorescence, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), was conducted. Functional assessment was completed with full-field electroretinogram (ff-ERG). RESULTS: This report details two sisters with X-linked CGD carrier status, both presenting chorioretinal lesions on fundoscopy. Observed features included punched-out chorioretinal lesions, perivascular atrophy, and peripheral pigment changes. Autofluorescence imaging confirmed hypoautofluorescent areas correlating with chorioretinal atrophy, and OCT revealed retinal collapse and ellipsoid zone loss in one sibling. Despite these structural changes, visual function remained stable with minimal progression over time. Subsequent serial ERGs did not show progression. CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight that skewed X-inactivation may contribute to retinal changes in asymptomatic CGD carriers, underscoring the need for awareness of potential ocular manifestations in X-linked genetic disorders in female carriers.
