β¦ Synopsis
The existence of a microheterogeneity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in human erythrocyte lysates has been previously demonstrated using isoelectric focusing (Der Kaloustian et al., 1974; Turner et al., 1975). The application of this method, modified in some aspects, to the identification of various G6PD variants led to interesting conclusions. The results reported here have been obtained from a study of four distinct molecular types: Gd(-) Mediterranean, Gd(-) Kabyle, the African Gd(+) A, and a new almost undescribed G6PD variant with severe enzyme deficiency named Gd(-) Muret.

A new variant of the PGMa1 erythrocyte enzyme system not identical with the known variants of the system has been detected in the hemolyzed red blood cells of a healthy blood donor by isoelectric focusing. Using this technique the variant is represented by two bands, a strong and slow one more catho
