Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency [PDF]
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency is the most prevalent enzymopathy in mankind. It has sex-linked inheritance. This enzyme exists in all cells. G6PD deficiency increases the sensitivity of red blood cells to oxidative damage.

G6PD diaxBox: Digital image-based quantification of G6PD deficiency
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymopathy in humans. More than 400 million people worldwide are affected by this genetic condition. Testing for G6PD deficiency before drug administration is essential for patient safety. Rapidly ascertaining the G6PD status of a person is desirable for proper treatment.

An efficient radiosynthesis of fluorine‐18 labeled gluconic acid ([18F]FGA) was developed using two readily available materials, 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐D‐glucose ([18F]FDG) and glucose oxidase. [18F]FGA is highly specific for bacterial gluconate metabolism mediated by gluconate permease (GntP) and gluconate kinase (GntK), with rapid clearance, low off ...

G6PD deficiency triggers dopamine loss and the initiation of Parkinson's disease pathogenesis.
Loss of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) is preceded by loss of synaptic dopamine (DA) and accumulation of proteinaceous aggregates. Linking these deficits is critical to restoring DA signaling in PD.

Liver Failure in Neonates With G6PD Deficiency
ABSTRACT Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a commonly inherited enzyme defect that can present with hemolysis, hyperbilirubinemia, and jaundice and may cause kidney and liver dysfunction. G6PD deficiency may serve as a cofactor for chronic liver disease; however, an association with liver failure is not well described. We
