Molecular Characterization of Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Families from the Republic of Macedonia and Genotype-phenotype Correlation

INTRODUCTION Glucose-6-phospahte dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is one of the most common inherited disorders affecting around 400 million people worldwide. Molecular analysis of the G6PD gene identified more than 140 distinct mutations, the majority being single base missense mutations. G6PD Mediterranean is the most common variant found in populations of the Mediterranean area. AIM The aim...

Genotype and phenotype correlation in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common erythrocytic enzymatic disorder in Italy and is characterized by wide clinical, biochemical and molecular variability. We studied the clinical and hematologic data from 54 G6PD-deficient, unrelated males from the Apulia region. DESIGN AND METHODS Analyses for enzymatic activity, G6PD electrophores...

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: from genotype to phenotype.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: correlation between the genotype, biochemistry and phenotype.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a common genetic enzyme defect present in many people from African, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian countries. Individuals with the enzyme deficiency may remain asymptomatic, develop an acute haemolytic crises to infections or Fava beans, neonatal jaundice or chronic non-spherocytic haemolytic anaemia. Electrophoretic mobility may b...

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...
