Core Tip	In the context of current knowledge, mono­gene­tic diseases are at the basis of early-onset inflam­matory bowel disease (IBD). Genetic and immunological studies on this subject have gained momentum in recent years. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immune deficiency and may manifest itself as IBD. In an adolescent patient, CGD may present with clinical signs of IBD without evidence of immune deficiency. It should be kept in mind that CGD in adolescents may extend to adulthood.
