Neonatal jaundice and molecular mutations in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient newborn infants

Abstract excerpt

Molecular mutations of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene and clinical manifestations of neonatal jaundice in 112 male and 50 female Chinese neonates with G6PD deficiency were studied. In the 112 males, the nucleotide (nt) 1376 (G-->T) mutation was the dominant type (50.0%), followed by nt 1388 (G-->A) (16.1%), nt 493 (A-->G) (8.0%), nt 1024 (C-->T) (6.2%), nt 95 (A-->G) (5.4%), nt 392 (G-->T)...
