Cardiac failure associated with G6PD deficiency.
To the Editor: Jain et al1 made the very interesting suggestion that glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency contributes to cardiac dysfunction through increased susceptibility to oxidative injury and impairment of intracellular calcium transport in cardiomyocytes from rats. Additionally, they demonstrated the development of in vivo adverse structural remodeling and contractile dysfu...
متن کاملNeonatal Jaundice Associated with Familial G6PD Deficiency in Israel.
It is now well established that hyperbilirubinaemia and even kernikterus may occur in the newborn in association with glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, in the absence of any of the other causes of neonatal jaundice (Panizon, 1960a, b; Doxiadis, Fessas, and Valaes, 1960; Doxiadis, Fessas, Valaes, and Mastrokalos, 1961; Fessas, Doxiadis, and Valaes, 1962; Smith and Vella, 1960;...
متن کاملG6PD deficiency.
T HIRTY-FIVE YEARS ago Dr William Dameshek, the first editor of the emerging journal Blood, invited me to write a review on “The Hemolytic Effect of Primaquine.”’ At the time, primaquine sensitivity, which had just recently been shown to be caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD); represented a unique example of an inherited deficiency of an enzyme that cau...
متن کاملA glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) splice site consensus sequence mutation associated with G6PD enzyme deficiency.
A glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient strain of mouse (GPDX) which was developed using the ethylating agent ethylnitrosourea (ENU) has been used to study clonality in epithelial tissues. While the biochemical defect has been quantified, the genetic basis of the deficiency is unknown. The G6PD gene is composed of 13 exons. Exon 1 is not translated, and the ATG start site is near t...
متن کاملCardiac Failure and Folate Deficiency
SIR,-Your interesting leading article on cardiac failure and folate deficiency (24 January, p. 188) commented on the possible causes of this association, and factors like impaired dietary intake and gastrointestinal malabsorption were mentioned. A contributory cause could well be excessive folate loss in the urine. Urinary folate excretion has been poorly studied, but we recently reported an un...
