Summary

Eosinophil peroxidase deficiency is a rare abnormality of eosinophil granulocytes characterized by decreased or absent peroxidase activity and decreased volume of the granule matrix (summary by Romano et al., 1994). Nakagawa et al. (2001) noted that there are no clinical symptoms and the diagnosis is made solely by cytochemical analysis. [from OMIM]
