A new G-6PD varient with enzyme deficiency is described in a 7-month-old Turkish boy without any hemolytic manifestation, except neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The main characteristics of this variant were the following: Severe enzyme deficiency in erythrocytes (8% of normal), fast starch-gel-electrop
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common hereditary disorder in humans. Through a population study for G6PD deficiency using a cord blood quantitative G6PD assay in Bangkok, Thailand, we found that the prevalence of G6PD deficiency is 11.1% in Thai male (N=350) and 5.8%
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the most common enzymopathy of humans, affecting >400 million people. It is associated with a range of clinical manifestations such as neonatal jaundice, drug or infection-mediated hemolytic crisis, favism, and less commonly, chronic nonspherocytic anemia
A low rate value of G6PD was found in red blood cells from a Cambodian boy. Enzyme mapping was performed according to the WHO standard methods. G6PD presented all the characteristics of the A(-) variant encountered in the Negroes and behaved distinct from fast migrating enzymes described in China. N
