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
## Abstract A 28βyearβold asymptomatic male of Iranian Jewish (Meshadi) heritage was found on routine exam to have an erythrocytosis (RBC = 6.22 Γ 10^12^/l, Hgb = 19.2 g/dl, Hct = 58.9%). Splenomegaly was absent on physical exam. There was no family history of erythrocytosis. His oxygen dissociatio
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
