G6PD deficiency in senile cataracts

Human Genetics, 1980
The incidence of G6PD deficiency among 338 Thai males with senile cataracts was 5.92% while 446 control Thai males gave an incidence of 6.95%. The figures in females were 16.29% and 14% among 201 senile cataracts females and 200 control females respectively.

G6PD Deficiency and Breast Cancer

Tumori Journal, 1988
A study of the relative 2dG6P utilization in mononuclear cells from a group of 150 women with breast cancer was undertaken to evaluate a possible negative correlation between G6PD deficiency and cancer, as suggested by some authors. Twenty-one women (14.00 %) were heterozygotes and 2 were homozygotes (1.33 %).

G6PD deficiency in newborn infants

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
Five hundred consecutive newborns were screened for erythrocytic G6PD deficiency in cord blood. The overall incidence of G6PD deficiency was found to be 2.80 percent. The incidence of G6PD deficiency was higher among males (3.77%) compared to females (1.44%).

Both mutations in G6PD A — are necessary to produce the G6PD deficient phenotype

Human Molecular Genetics, 1992
The high prevalence of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in African populations is due almost entirely to the enzyme variant A-, which differs from the wild-type G6PD B by two amino acid replacements, 68 Val-->Met and 126 Asn-->Asp. The non-deficient polymorphic variant G6PD A contains only the mutation 126 Asn-->Asp.

Molecular Characterization of G6PD Deficiency in Oman

Human Heredity, 1996
Screening of unselected university students in the Sultanate of Oman revealed an overall frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency of 26% in males. Samples from 23 G6PD-deficient individuals (a random sub-sample of the student population), were characterised biochemically and at the molecular level.

Clinical Spectrum of Primaquine-induced Hemolysis in G6PD Deficiency: A Nine-Year Hospitalization-Based Study from the Brazilian Amazon.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2019
Despite G6PDd prevalence of 5% in the Amazon, primaquine is administered without G6PD screening. This is an important cause of hospitalization among Plasmodium vivax-infected individuals, leading to life-threatening anemia and acute renal failure across ...

American Journal of Perinatology, 2019
Objective The current study initiated to address the effect of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency on the pathogenesis and the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHB).

Molecular characterization of G6PD deficiency in Cyprus

Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases, 2004
In the present study, we determined the frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Cyprus using two different procedures in two separate adult population groups: a semiquantitative fluorescence test on blood spotted on filter paper and a quantitative spectrophotometric test on liquid blood.

G6PD deficiency: the genotype-phenotype association

Blood Reviews, 2007
Deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a very common X-linked genetic disorder though most deficient people are asymptomatic. A number of different G6PD variants have reached polymorphic frequencies in different parts of the world due to the relative protection they confer against malaria infection.

The gene spectrum of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Guangdong province, China.

Gene, 2018
BACKGROUND G6PD deficiency presents a higher incidence rate in southern China. Many variants of G6PD resulted from point mutations in the G6PD gene, which lead to decrease of enzyme activity.
