Haemolytic anaemia due to glutathione reductase deficiency (Q93776)
From determinar.ia.br - Determine suas informações
Haemolytic anaemia due to glutathione reductase (GSR) deficiency is characterised by nearly complete absence of GSR activity in erythrocytes. It has been described in three children (one male and two females) born to consanguineous parents. Both parents had intermediate levels of GSR activity. One child presented with favism and two with cataracts. Transmission is autosomal recessive. This disease should be distinguished from glutathione reductase deficiency secondary to dietary riboflavin deficiency and from the acute pharmacologic phenocopy induced by carmustine (BCNU). GSR activity is not restored by riboflavin in vivo or by FAD in vitro.
