NADH-diaphorase and cytochrome b5 reductase activities of platelets and leucocytes, as well as erythrocytes, were found to be deficient in a patient with hereditary methaemoglobinaemia associated with moderate mental retardation and non-progressive neurological disturbance, in which hyperactive reflexes and involuntary movements were notable. In another methaemoglobinaemic patient with no mental or neurological abnormalities, these enzyme activities were defective in erythrocytes but normal in platelets and leucocytes. The first case was a generalised cytochrome b5 reductase deficiency with non-progressive encephalopathy. It is suggested that the detection of cytochrome b5 reductase activity in platelets, in addition to that in leucocytes, is useful for the assessment of a generalised enzyme defect. Genetical involvement of the present cases is discussed in association with the diaphorase gene loci in humans.

D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D008708 Methemoglobinemia The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait).

D004589 Electrophoresis, Disc Electrophoresis in which discontinuities in both the voltage and pH gradients are introduced by using buffers of different composition and pH in the different parts of the gel column. The term 'disc' was originally used as an abbreviation for 'discontinuous' referring to the buffers employed, and does not have anything to do with the shape of the separated zones.
