Chronic hemolytic anemia associated with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Guadalajara)1 159 C --> T (387 Arg --> Cys) deficiency associated with Gilbert syndrome in a Turkish patient.

The case of an 8-year-old male child with severe kernicterus sequelae is presented in this paper. The child's hemoglobin value varied between 6.0 and 10.8 g/dL and his reticulocyte count ranged between 3.4 and 46.0% during the steady-state condition and hyperhemolytic crisis, respectively. A chronic hemolytic type of red cell G6PD deficiency was diagnosed. DNA studies indicate that the mutation was G6PD Guadalajara 1159 C --> T (387 Arg --> Cys) that is situated at the NADP binding site. Additionally, extra nucleotides of (TA) in the A(TA)n TAA motif of the promoter region of the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase gene (UGT-1 A) were found to be homozygous in the patient. The coexistence of Gilbert syndrome with a chronic type of G6PD deficiency was suggested as a cause of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia leading to kernicterus.[1]
