✦ Synopsis

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 Km glucose 6-phosphate and NADP+; increased inhibition constant by NADPH; decreased inhibition by ATP; slightly increased utilization of the substrate analogue; abnormal pH curve, with maximum activity at pH 9.5; slightly reduced starch gel electrophoretic migration. The implications of the molecular stability of a deficient mutant variant are discussed.

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

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
