G6PD activity was assayed in 20 Sardinian heterozygotes for G6PD deficiency and related to that of LDH and MDH. One of these heterozygotes showed a deficient phenotype in all her follicles, while the remaining 19 had different proportions of deficient, intermediate, and normal follicles. This is in accordance with a previous estimate. Because of the broad fiducial limits at the 5% level and because of some developmental considerations, this value cannot be interpreted as indicative of the number of primordial cells for scalp epidermis at the time of X-chromosome inactivation, as previously stated. The assay of single hair follicles is, however, a very valuable tool for establishing the role of cell selection in the same or in a different tissue, like peripheral blood.
对20名撒丁岛G6PD缺乏症杂合子的G6PD活性进行了测定,并与LDH和MDH的活性进行了关联。其中一名杂合子的所有卵泡均表现出缺陷型,而其余19名杂合子的卵泡中缺陷型、中间型和正常型的比例各不相同。这与先前的估计一致。由于5%水平时的置信区间较宽,且出于一些发育方面的考虑,如前所述,该值不能被解释为X染色体失活时头皮表皮原始细胞的数量。然而,对单个毛囊的检测是确定细胞选择在同一组织或不同组织(如外周血)中作用的非常有价值的工具。
