We screened 38 G6PD-deficient male Chinese neonates for known G6PD mutations using established PCR-based techniques. We found 50.0% (19 of 38) were mutation 1376G>T, 34.2% (13 of 38) were mutation 1388G>A, 5.2% (2 of 38 ) were mutation 95A>G and 2.2% (1 of 38) was mutation 1024C>T. In 7% (3 of 38) o

✦ Synopsis
In this paper we report a male infant heterozygous for -thalassemia with a mild glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. The molecular basis of this new Class III G6PD variant is a G->T mutation at nucleotide 34 in the exon 2, which predicts a Val->Leu aminoacid substitution at codon 12. We designated this variant as G6PD Sinnai from the place of birth of the propositus.

Two glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants were investigated. G6PD Amman-1 was partially purified from the red cells of a patient suffering from recurrent jaundice and spontaneous episodic attacks of severe hemolysis in the absence of oxidant drugs, infection, or fava beans. The enzymatic
