Abstract:
The cloning and sequencing of the G6PD gene has opened a new chapter in the characterization of the numerous G6PD variants described. Many which were thought to be different on the basis of their kinetic properties, are really the same whereas heterogeneity has been found in some which were thought to be homogeneous. We discuss with some detail variants A+, A- and the Mediterranean type.
