Abstract excerpt
Hereditary methemoglobinemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (b5R) deficiency. In an attempt to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in the enzyme deficiency, we isolated the b5R gene from a patient homozygous for hereditary methemoglobinemia, generalized type, and compared its nucleotide sequence with that of the normal NADH-cytochrome b5R gene. Only one...
