17 Glucose - 6 - Phosphate Dehydrogenase Defi ciency

Molecular Identification of the Most Prevalent Mutations of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) in Fars and Isfahan of Iran

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in humans is in X-linked disorder, housekeeping enzyme and vital for the survival of every cell. It catalyses the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho Gluconat in the first committed step of the pentose phosphate pathway, which provides cells with pentoses and reducing power in the form of NADPH. NADPH is required to protect the cells against ox...

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency

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 deficiency was discovered in 1950 when some people suffered hemolytic anemia as a result of taking antimalar­ial drugs (primaquin). most people w...

Prevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency in Jiroft City in Southern Iran

Background and Aims: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a global problem and the most common cause of jaundice in neonates. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in Jiroft city in southern Kerman. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from 2016 to 2019. Blood samples were taken from all patie...
