Abstract

A new deficient variant of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) causing severe congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA) is described. The variant enzyme, characterized by slow electrophoretic mobility, extreme in vivo and in vitro lability, high K_m for G6P and strongly acidic pH optimum, appears to be unique, and has been designated G6PD Genova. Investigation of an obligate heterozygote using various cytochemical, biochemical and recombinant-DNA techniques showed G6PD mosaicism in the erythrocytes and leukocytes. Therefore, the presence of a disadvantageous mutation at one Gd locus did not determine selection in favor of the normal allele in the heterozygote's hemopoietic cells.
