Linkage disequilibrium of polymorphic sites in the G6PD gene in African populations and the origin of G6PD A-.

Abstract excerpt

So far, four polymorphic sites are known to exist in the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene of people of African origin: the mutation in G6PD A (which creates a FokI restriction enzyme site); the additional mutation in G6PD A- (which creates an NlaIII site); and two restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PvuII and PstI). We have investigated the status of these four sites in 78 men of African...
