Combined phenotyping of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD; EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PDG; EC 1.1.1.44).
The addition of negroid phenotypes to the already heterogeneous population of Israel caused us to reuse the enzymes G6PD and PGD which are known to have a better discrimination power in a negroid population than in caucasians. We have developed a system for combined phenotyping of G6PD and PGD. This system answers the requirements of the above enzymes and results in a negroid population than in caucasians. We have developed a system for combined phenotype-amount of sample and reagents needed and time spent.
