Description : Ogasawara et al. (1987) observed 6 related individuals with complete deficiency of
erythrocyte AMP deaminase (isozyme E). All were healthy and had no hematologic disorders.
The ATP level was approximately 150% higher in AMP-deficient red cells compared to
the level in the control cells. Degradation of adenine nucleotide was slower in the
deficient erythrocytes than in the control erythrocytes.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the adenosine monophosphate deaminase-3, isoform E gene (AMPD3,
102772.0001);
