  • Title: Molecular heterogeneity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Jordan.
    Author: Karadsheh NS, Moses L, Ismail SI, Devaney JM, Hoffman E.
    Journal: Haematologica; 2005 Dec; 90(12):1693-4. PubMed ID: 16330444.
    Abstract:
    Molecular screening for glucose-6-phosphate (G6PD) mutations in two Jordanian populations revealed six different mutations and higher incidences of G6PD deficiency and G6PD A- (376A-->G + 202G-->A) mutation in Jordan Valley than in the Amman area. These observations may be explained by historically higher rates of malaria and African ancestral origins, respectively.
