A novel R198H mutation in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene in the tribal groups of the Nilgiris in Southern India.

Abstract excerpt

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common red cell enzymopathy among humans. In India, G6PD Mediterranean, G6PD Orissa, and G6PD Kerala-Kalyan are the three common mutations which account almost 90% of G6PD deficiency. Here we describe G6PD Coimbra, an unreported variant from India, and a novel 593 G --> A mutation in exon 6 with an amino acid change of Arg 198 His, among the tribal...
