Abstract excerpt
Hereditary methemoglobinemia is a genetic disorder, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, characterized by NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (b5R) deficiency. It is classified three types, erythrocyte, generalized, and blood cell types, in terms of tissues in which the enzyme is deficient. In attempt to analyse molecular mechanisms involved in the enzyme deficiency, we isolated b5R genes from the patient of...
