A new glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase variant (GDTrinacria) in two unrelated families of Sicilian ancestry.
A new G6PD variant in two unrelated families of Sicilian extraction is described. It is characterized by an enzyme activity amounting to 20% of normal, by a slow electrophoretic mobility, decreased Km values for both TPN and G6P, increased utilization of substrates analogues, thermolability and biphasic pH curve. It has been named G6PD Trinacria.
