Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the Niokolonko (Malinke of the Niokolo) of Eastern Senegal. Identification of a slow variant with normal activity (Tacoma-like).

Abstract

In a survey of blood genetic markers in the Niokolonko of Eastern Senegal, three types of G6PD variants were discovered: (1) fast variants, common Negro G6PD A +; the frequency of the Gd A + gene was 0.183; (2) deficient G6PD A--, occurring with a fairly low frequency: 0.079, and (3) some individuals were carriers of a slow moving electrophoretic variant with normal activity. After purification, the analysis of kinetic parameters showed that this enzyme was closely similar to G6PD Tacoma. We proposed to label it 'G6PD Tacoma-like'. The incidence of this mutation in the whole group studied was 0.020. G6PD Tacoma-like may be common in some African tribes.
