Prevalence and molecular identification of the mediterranean variant among G6PD-deficient Sistani and Balouch males in Southeastern Iran.

Abstract:

:To determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency and a Mediterranean mutation among males in southeastern Iran, we studied 1,097 Sistani and Balouch schoolboys. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and a history of malaria infection; blood samples were evaluated for G6PD deficiency and the G6PD Mediterranean mutation. Of the 1,097 boys screened, 175 were G6PD deficient (5.8 % of the Sistani boys and 19.3 % of the Balouch boys). The malaria survey indicated that among Balouch subjects, malaria infection was about 14 times that of Sistani subjects. Molecular characterization of G6PD-deficient samples revealed a general frequency of 85.1 % for the Mediterranean variant among all subjects (75 % among Sistani and 86.2 % among Balouch cases). The high prevalence of G6PD deficiency among Balouch populations confirms the hypothesis that the distribution of G6PD deficiency is concordant with the geographic distribution of malaria.

  • Direct determination of usual (Caucasian-type) and atypical (Oriental-type) alleles of the class I human alcohol dehydrogenase-2 locus.

    abstract::Two types of alleles exist in the human alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (ADH2) locus. The usual ADH12 allele is common in Caucasians, while the atypical ADH22 allele is predominant in Orientals. The ADH22 produces the beta 2 subunit, which is catalytically far more active than the beta 1 subunit produced by the ADH12 gene. Th...
