    Abstract:
    A new glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variant associated with chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia was discovered. It was found in a 2-year-old male who had a hemolytic crisis after an upper respiratory tract infection. The enzyme activity of the variant was 8.4% of that of the normal enzyme. The enzymatic characteristics were slower than normal anodal electrophoretic mobility, low Km G6P, normal Km NADP, increased utilization of substrate analogues, high Ki NADPH, decreased heat stability, and an alkaline pH optimum. From these results, this was considered to be a new variant and was designated G6PD Sendagi.
