A novel GLA mutation in a Fabry family with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

We report here a Fabry family (mother, son and daughter) where the alpha-galactosidase A defect was associated with a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Mutation analysis revealed for the GLA gene the presence of a new mutation, i.e., a small deletion (c.452delA) on exon 3 and for the G6PD gene the presence of 2 mutations, p.V68M (G6PD Asahi, G6PD A+) and p.N126D (G6PD A+) on exon 3 and exon 4, respectively.
