| Phenotypic information | Low glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, a activity variant. Described in 'Genetic variants and strains of the laboratory mouse' (page 273) and by Charles & Pretsch (1984; Mouse News Letters, 71; 37-38) as having three levels of G6PD activity: 20% in hemizygous males, 60% in heterozygous females and 15% in homozygous females compared to wild-type. Similar levels (12%, 56% and 9% of wild-type respectively) were seen by Peters et al. (Genet Res 52:195-201). Peters et al. reported a reduced recombination frequency between Hq-G6pd-Ta suggesting the X chromosome carrying G6pdx suppresses recombination in this region, but no evidence of a structural rearrangement was detected cytologically. Peters & Ball (Genet Res 56: 245-252) showed greater expression of G6PD in the blood of G6pdx/G6pdx than in the reciprocal (maternal allele quoted first). This difference was greater in older mice (2-6 months) than in younger mice (one month). Sanders et al. (Mut Res 374:79-87) reported finding an A to T transversion in the G6pdx gene, at the 5' splice site consensus sequence at the 3' end of exon 1, part of the untranslated region, which is a likely cause of the lowered activity. |
