Here we report a Portuguese woman who suffered in her sixties from a chronic hemolytic anemia due to G6PD deficiency. Molecular studies revealed heterozygosity for an in-frame 18-bp d...
Abstract The genetic polymorphism of AMY2 was studied in the population of S. Tom and Prncipe (West Africa) using agarose gel electrophoresis. AMY2 frequencies are reported for the first time in a subSaharian population. The gene frequencies found were: AMY2*1=0.948, AMY2*3=0.052 (N=173). ; http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF02447634
