G6PD Konan and G6PD Ube are the most common glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants found in Japan. To clarify the molecular abnormality of these two variants, the entire coding region was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA (G6PD Konan) or cDNA (G6PD Ube). Direct sequencing revealed that both variants have the same nucleotide substitution (241 C to T) in exon 4, which predicts an Arg to Cys substitution at amino acid 81.
G6PD小南和G6PD宇部是在日本发现的最常见的葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)变体。为了阐明这两种变体的分子异常情况,通过聚合酶链反应从基因组DNA(G6PD小南)或cDNA(G6PD宇部)中扩增出整个编码区。直接测序显示,这两种变体在第4外显子中具有相同的核苷酸替换(241C突变为T),这预示着第81位氨基酸由精氨酸替换为半胱氨酸。
