Favism in a Portuguese family due to a deficient glucose-phosphate dehydrogenase variant (Canton) or (cpanton-like) type

A Kahn et al. Acta Haematol. 1976.

Abstract

In a Portuguese boy with favism G-6PD deficiency was found. Deficiency was due to a G-6PD variant close or identical to Canton-type G-6PD. The muted protein had a lowered catalytic activity and furthermore, was unstable. The post-translational modifications undergone by this deficient G-6PD variant are described.
