Congenital methemoglobinemia can be caused by mutations involving five different genes. We studied the etiology and molecular biology of eight consecutive patients with methemoglobinemia. Four had b5R mutations; two were novel. A novel intronic mutation caused markedly reduced mRNA resulting in type II methemoglobinemia. Three patients had acquired methemoglobinemia without any b5R mutations.
