Several mutations including two novel mutations of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene in Polish G6PD deficient subjects with chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia, acute hemolytic anemia, and favism.

DNA sequencing revealed seven different glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutations in G6PD deficient subjects from 10 Polish families. Among them we found two novel mutations: 679C-->T (G6PD Radlowo, class 2) and a 1006A-->G (G6PD Torun, class 1). Variant G6PD Radlowo was characterized biochemically.

Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Poland--a study on the 563 and 1311 mutations of the G6PD gene.

Studies on the mutation 563T and silent mutation 1311T of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene in Poland were performed in 26 families affected with G6PD deficiency classified-according to WHO-as group 2 G6PD deficiency. Both mutations were found in 19 families, including 17 of Polish origin. Mutation 563T alone was found in 1 Greek female.

The ATP level and pyruvate kinase activity in dog red cells.

The ATP level and pyruvate kinase (PK) activity were measured in red cells of 21 dogs. The obtained results are: ATP -- 732 +/- 197.3 mumoles/1 RBC, PK -- 919 +/- 452.
