Biochemical Characterization of a Fast Moving G6PD Variant - G6PD 'INSULI'.

ABSTRACT

G6PD 'Insuli', a fast moving electrophoretic variant is detected and biochemically characterised, first time in india in a Sunni Muslim family of Maharashtra. The enzyme kinetics and electrophoretic mobility of the variant are similar to Negro type A. As direct evidence for the Negro admixture in the population is lacking, the variant is considered new until further molecular evidence.
