Reactivity of Blood Samples Spotted onto Filter Papers in the WST-8 Method for Screening of G6PD Deficiency. [PDF]
Deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) causes acute hemolytic anemia triggered by oxidative drugs such as primaquine. It is therefore essential in malaria-endemic areas for malaria patients to be confirmed for their G6PD activity before ...

This study evaluated pharmacogenomic (PGx) calling from whole‐exome sequencing (WES) in 3562 Taiwanese individuals. Fourteen pharmacogenes were reliably identified, with each person carrying an average of ~2.4 actionable phenotypes. The high actionable frequencies of G6PD deficiency and HLA‐B*58:01 highlight ethnic differences and support WES as a ...
