By hybridization studies of DNA prepared from flow-sorted human chromosomes with a cDNA probe for the X-linked G6PD (305900), Yoshida and Lebo (1986) concluded that chromosome 17 contains DNA sequences that hybridize with the G6PD probe. The G6PD-like locus on chromosome 17 could be a pseudogene or perhaps a functional gene for the fetal brain-specific G6PD isozyme.
