Abstract excerpt
We report the second documented observation of a rare class-III variant, we named G6PD Pyrgos, [c.383 T>G, p.128Leu>Arg] found in a Greek family. A 3-dimensional structure model for the enzyme shows that the region modified by the substitution is identical to that modified in G6PD A(-) (68Val>Met, 126Asn>Asp), suggesting a common underlying pathophysiological mechanism. Observation of this mutation in different...
