Combined erythrocyte glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in an Italian family.

1981 
A severe hemolytic crisis was observed in a 5-yearold boy of Italian origin. Analysis of his hemolysate revealed a hemizygous deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenese (G6PD) and a heterozygous deficiency of glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI). According to the literature this is the fourth family with a combined deficiency of these two enzymes located on different chromosomes. Only the G6PD deficiency seems to be responsible for the hemolytic crisis.
