Abstract excerpt
Recessive congenital methemoglobinemia (RCM, OMIM 250800) arises from defects in either the erythrocytic or microsomal forms of the flavoprotein, cytochrome b5 reductase (cb5r) and was the first disease to be directly associated with a specific enzyme deficiency. Of the 33 verified mutations in cb5r that give rise to either the type I (erythrocytic) or type II (generalized) forms of RCM, three of the mutations,...
