Abstract
THERE are about fifty known variants of sex-linked human glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) distinguishable by electrophoretic mobility or enzymatic characteristics1,2. Among them, nine alleles occur in high frequencies giving rise to a polymorphism in certain populations1,3. We report here another G6PD variant, designated as Gd Minas Gerais (MG), found in a sample of 1,068 families originating from north-eastern Brazil.
