Pathogenic G6PD variants: Different clinical pictures arise from different missense mutations in the same codon

Abstract excerpt

G6PD deficiency results from mutations in the X-linked G6PD gene. More than 200 variants are associated with enzyme deficiency: each one of them may either cause predisposition to haemolytic anaemia triggered by exogenous agents (class B variants), or may cause a chronic haemolytic disorder (class A variants). Genotype-phenotype correlations are subtle. We report a rare G6PD variant, discovered in a baby...
