Mutations and haplotype diversity in 70 Portuguese G6PD-deficient individuals: an overview on the origin and evolution of mutated alleles.

چکیده
G6PD deficiency mutational profile and haplotype diversity using 6 RFLPs (FokI/PvuII/BspHI/PstI/BclI/NlaIII) and a (CTT)(n) microsatellite, were investigated in 70 G6PD-deficient Portuguese individuals. All but one G6PD A-(376G/202A) variants (44/45) have a single haplotype (+/+/-/+/-/+/195). G6PD Betica(376G/968C) alleles (n=10) have a single RFLP haplotype (+/-/-/+/-/+) and 4 different (CTT)(n) repeats. Age estimates based on microsatellite variation suggest that Betica mutation arose 900 generations ago. G6PD SantaMaria(376G/542T) allele was found on haplotype (+/-/-/+/-/+/201) and 10 G6PD variants on RFLP haplotypes (-/-/+/+/-/-), (-/-/+/+/-/+) and (-/-/+/+/+/+).

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme catalyses the first step in pentose phosphate pathway (conversion of glucose-6-phosphat to 6-phospho gluconat) which provides cells with pentoses and reduction power in the form of NADPH. In the present study we have analyzed the G6PD gene mutations in 76 patients with a history of favism in Khorasan province in Iran. DNA samples were analyzed for...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of the Most Prevalent Mutation of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Gene in Deficient Patients in Sistan and Balochestan Province of Iran
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in humans is an X-chromosome-linked disorder and housekeeping enzyme, vital for the survival of every cell. It catalyses the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho gluconate in the first committed step of the pentose phosphate pathway, which provides cells with pentoses and reducing power in the form of NADPH. NADPH is required to protect the cell...

In order to explore the nature of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in one of the coastal provinces of the Caspian Sea (Mazandaran) in Iran, we have analysed the G6PD gene in 74 unrelated G6PD-deficient males (2-6 year children) with a history of Favism, by using PCR and subsequent digestion by appropriate restriction enzymes, looking for the presence of certain known mutation...
