title: Variants of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in a Vietnamese population.
abstract: 69 out of 2,304 Vietnamese males were found to be hemizygous carriers of the Gd- gene. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency had a polymorphic frequency in the Vietnamese population (0.0299). Genetic heterogeneity in G6PD was found - 3 G6PD variants were found among 13 G6PD-deficient males studied (G6PD Canton, G6PD Hanoi and G6PD Vin Fu). Two new variants were identified - G6PD Hanoi and G6PD Vin Fu.
