Study of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase: history and molecular biology.

Abstract excerpt

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency was discovered in the 1950s. The history of the development of knowledge about G6PD deficiency is reviewed here. In the first decade after its discovery, the clinical manifestations of G6PD deficiency began to be understood. In the second decade...
