Abstract
In the present study, we determined the frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Cyprus using two different procedures in two separate adult population groups: a semiquantitative fluorescence test on blood spotted on filter paper and a quantitative spectrophotometric test on liquid blood. The frequency of G6PD deficiency among healthy adult males was found to be 5.1% using the semiquantitative procedure and 6.4% using the quantitative procedure. Neither method was able to detect all the expected female heterozygotes (5.3% and 47.1% of the expected number, respectively). A total of 21 male hemizygotes, 1 female homozygote and 9 female heterozygotes that tested positive for G6PD deficiency were studied at the molecular level. All 32 chromosomes were genotyped and five different mutations were identified. The Mediterranean mutation in exon 6 (563C-->T) (Ser188Phe) was found to be the most common variant in the Cypriot population, accounting for 52.6% of the deficient alleles. In the remaining chromosomes, four different mutations were identified: three known mutations, Kaiping 1388G-->A (Arg463His), Chatham 1003G-->A (Ala335Thr) and Acrokorinthos 463C-->G (His155Asp), and one previously undescribed mutat...Continue Reading
