Abstract excerpt
Mutations encoding class I glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants are associated with chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA), the most severe phenotypic expression of G6PD deficiency. These mutations frequently affect the G6PD dimer interface that is essential for enzymatic activity. We detected two de novo missense mutations concerning residues located close together in the dimer interface in...
