Abstract excerpt
The electrophoretic mobility and level of enzyme activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was established in 100 unrelated Algerian males with G6PD deficiency. DNA from these subjects was analysed for the presence of certain known G6PD mutations by the appropriate restriction enzyme digestion of fragments amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. Where the mutation could not be identified in this...
