Abstract excerpt

To test the hypothesis that clinical manifestation in G6PD deficiency correlates with a molecular lesion, we investigated the G6PD gene of two Chinese Americans both of whom had G6PD deficiency, but who manifested different clinical presentations. In this study, we have developed a direct PCR seq...
