Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in an XO Individual

Abstract
A family segregating for G6PD deficiency is reported in which one member has an XO chromosomal constitution. The association of G6PD deficiency and Turner’s syndrome in the same individual adds further evidence to presumed sex linkage of the G6PD gene. The segregation of the G6PD gene in this family indicates that the X chromosome of the propositus was maternal in origin.
