NCF1C is a human pseudogene related to NCF1 (neutrophil cytosol factor 1), the latter being responsible for encoding the 47 kDA cytosolic subunit of NADPH oxidase.[1] In chronic granulomatous disease, the functional NCF1 gene recombines with the two nearby pseudogenes (NCF1B, NCF1C) and becomes inactivated.[2]
