A case of congenital nonspherocytic haemolytic anaemia associated with a new abnormal glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI), GSH (reduced glutathione) deficiency, and instability and altered carbohydrate membrane composition is reported. The only functional abnormality of the mutant enzyme seems to be a marked instability to heat, urea, and guanidine-HCl. Family studies suggest that the propositus is doubly heterozygous for a maternal gene producing an inactive enzyme and a paternal gene responsible for a structural alteration causing marked lability of the coded enzyme. Experiments of incubation of normal GPI and the propositus's GPI with oxidizing and reducing agents seem to indicate that the abnormality resides in the SH groups of the mutant GPI.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297 Male Males
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D005956 Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase An aldose-ketose isomerase that catalyzes the reversible interconversion of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. In prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms it plays an essential role in glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways. In mammalian systems the enzyme is found in the cytoplasm and as a secreted protein. This secreted form of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase has been referred to as autocrine motility factor or neuroleukin, and acts as a cytokine which binds to the AUTOCRINE MOTILITY FACTOR RECEPTOR. Deficiency of the enzyme in humans is an autosomal recessive trait, which results in CONGENITAL NONSPHEROCYTIC HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA.
