Abstract excerpt

By biochemical characterization of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) from the red cells of seventeen subjects of the population of Matera (Southern Italy) we have identified six genetically determined common variants. Among these, G6PD Metaponto and G6PD A(-) Matera had been already fully...
