## Communicated by Francesco GianneUi The vast majority of both polymorphic and sporadic G6PD variants are due to single missense mutations. In the four polymorphic variants that have two point mutations, one of the mutations is always 376 A+G (126 A s e A s p ) , which on its own gives rise to th
The main physiological function of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is to produce NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate, which are essential for reductive biosynthesis and nucleic acid synthesis. In normal cells, G6PD expression is tightly controlled; however, in many tumors, regulation of its expres
