[Description of new mutant forms of erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in man].

9 variants of human erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) were isolated from erythrocytes of patients with G6PD deficiency and partially purified according to WHO program for stanartization of methods for studying G6PD. The results of physico-chemical study of these enzymes (determination of electrophoretic mobility, kappaM for G6P and NADP, pH optimum and thermostability) permit tu consider 5 of them to be new mutations of G6PD previously not described in literature. The observed high geterogeneity of variants of G6PD in Azerbaijan is discussed.
