BackgroundDespite accumulating evidence revealing that Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is highly expressed in many tumor tissues and plays a remarkable role in cancer tumorigenesis and progression, there is still a lack of G6PD pan-cancer ...

Risks of Hemolysis in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficient Infants Exposed to Chlorproguanil-Dapsone, Mefloquine and Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine as Part of Intermittent Presumptive Treatment of Malaria in Infants. [PDF]
Chlorproguanil-dapsone (CD) has been linked to hemolysis in symptomatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PDd) children. Few studies have explored the effects of G6PD status on hemolysis in children treated with Intermittent Preventive ...

Molecular genotyping of G6PD mutations for neonates in Ningbo area [PDF]
AbstractThe aim of this study is to determine the cut‐off value of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity and the mutation spectrum of G6PD gene in neonates with G6PD deficiency at Ningbo. Around 82233 neonatal blood samples were measured to determine G6PD activity. The positive samples were further detected with gene analysis.

Concordance between glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) genotype and phenotype and rasburicase use in patients with hematologic malignancies. [PDF]
Phenotypic rather than genotypic tests remain the gold standard for diagnosing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. However, with increasing use of genomic arrays and whole exome or genome sequencing, G6PD genetic data are increasingly available.

Lower efficacy of transfusion of red blood cells from donors with sickle cell trait. [PDF]
Abstract Sickle cell trait (SCT), the heterozygous state for the hemoglobin S (HbS) mutation, affects roughly 1 in 13 African American individuals and is common among blood donors recruited for antigen‐matched transfusions in sickle cell disease (SCD).

Study of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency and Genotype Polymorphism of G6PD B and G6PD (A+/A-) in Patients Treated for Plasmodium vivax Malaria in a Tertiary Care Hospital in North East India [PDF]
Introduction Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme deficiency is the most common enzymopathy in humans, and its distribution has been historically described to be closely associated with that of malaria. North East India provides optimal conditions for transmission of malaria and bears a considerable burden of Plasmodium vivax (P.

Assessment of CareStart G6PD rapid diagnostic test and CareStart G6PD biosensor in Mauritania
Background The elimination of Plasmodium vivax malaria requires 8-aminoquinolines, which are contraindicated in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency due to the risk of acute haemolytic anaemia.

Associations between red cell polymorphisms and Plasmodium falciparum infection in the middle belt of Ghana. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Red blood cell (RBC) polymorphisms are common in malaria endemic regions and are known to protect against severe forms of the disease. Therefore, it is important to screen for these polymorphisms in drugs or vaccines efficacy trials.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme disorder and is caused by G6PD gene mutations. To date, more than 400 variants in the G6PD gene have been discovered, and about 160 identified variants are associated with a significant decrease in the G6PD enzyme activity.
