✦ Synopsis
Two new variants of erythrocyte glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase are discovered in 3 unrelated Ashkenazi Jew patients with severe deficiency of enzyme. Both variants have a resemblance to 2 other variants in Ashkenazi: G6PD Boston and G6PD Kilgore, but have a significantly higher affinity for substrates and their analogues and are not associated with chronic hemolytic disease. Probably, all 4 variants arise from two ancestral mutations.

Two glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants were investigated. G6PD Amman-1 was partially purified from the red cells of a patient suffering from recurrent jaundice and spontaneous episodic attacks of severe hemolysis in the absence of oxidant drugs, infection, or fava beans.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has previously been reported among both the black and white populations of Costa Rica. All 28 G6PD A-samples were found to be of the common G6PD A--376G/2~ A previously described mutation associated with nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia, G6PD Puert
