Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Variants in Greeks

Abstract
On a sample of the Greek population, composed of 708 adult individuals (420 men and 288 women), G6PD types were studied by means of vertical electrophoresis. In addition to the common B type, three variants of the enzyme were found: (a) In one female, the rapidly migrating A type, the first to be described in a Caucasian subject; (b) In two males and one female, a slow variant, similar to the one described as Seattle variant; (c) In one female, a variant slower than the previous one, resembling the variant known as Austin I or Ibadan.
