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

β¦ Synopsis
G6PDdb (http://www.rubic.rdg.ac.uk/g6pd/ or http://www.bioinf.org.uk/g6pd/) is a newly created web-accessible locus-specific mutation database for the human Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene. The relational database integrates up-to-date mutational and structural data from various databanks (GenBank, Protein Data Bank, etc.) with biochemically characterized variants and their associated phenotypes obtained from published literature and the Favism website. An automated analysis of the mutations likely to have a significant impact on the structure of the protein has been performed using a recently developed procedure. The database may be queried online and the full results of the analysis of the structural impact of mutations are available. The web page provides a form for submitting additional mutation data and is linked to resources such as the Favism website, OMIM, HGMD, HGVBASE, and the PDB. This database provides insights into the molecular aspects and clinical significance of G6PD deficiency for researchers and clinicians and the web page functions as a knowledge base relevant to the understanding of G6PD deficiency and its management.

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
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
