An inherited and complete deficiency of diphosphoglycerate mutase [EC 2.7.5.4] was discovered in the erythrocytes of a 42 yr old man of French origin whose blood Hb concentration was 19.0 g/dl. Upon physical examination he was normal with the exception of a ruddy cyanosis. The morphology of this erythrocytes was normal, with no evidence of hemolysis. The erythrocyte 2,3-diphosphoglycerate level was below 3% of normal values and, as a consequence, the affinity of the cells for O2 was increased. Diphosphoglycerate mutase activity was undetectable in erythrocytes as was that of diphosphoglycerate phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.13]. The activities of all the other erythrocyte enzymes that were tested were normal except for monophosphoglycerate mutase [EC 2.7.5.3] which was diminished to 1/2 the normal value. The levels of reduced glutathione, ATP, fructose 1,6-diphosphate and triose phosphates were elevated, whereas those of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate were decreased. This report sheds new light on the role of diphosphoglycerate mutase in the metabolism of erythrocytes.
