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 des

A new G6PD variant, called G6PD Vientiane, has been discovered in a patient from Laos. The characteristics of this variant are: mild enzyme deficiency (about 50% of the normal activity) in the granulocytes and the red cells, with normal G6PD-related antigen concentration; increased stability; normal
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
We performed DNA analysis using cord blood samples on 86 male Malay neonates diagnosed as G6PD deficiency in the National University of Malaysia Hospital by a combination of rapid PCR-based techniques, single-stranded conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) and DNA sequencing. We found 37.2% were
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common hereditary disorder in humans. Through a population study for G6PD deficiency using a cord blood quantitative G6PD assay in Bangkok, Thailand, we found that the prevalence of G6PD deficiency is 11.1% in Thai male (N=350) and 5.8%
