Abstract excerpt
Among over 50 distinct mutations causing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, only two deletion mutations have so far been reported. Using nonradioisotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis, we found two additional deletion mutations in two Japanese G6PD-deficient patients with nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. Case no. 1 had a 3-nucleotide deletion in exon 6 predicting a deletion of...
