Abstract excerpt
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is remarkable for its genetic diversity in humans. Many variants of G6PD have been described with wide ranging levels of enzyme activity and associated clinical symptoms. Fifty-eight different mutations have now been identified and these account for 97 named G6PD variants. The mutations are almost exclusively missense mutations, causing single amino acid substitutions....
