Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: biochemical and histochemical studies on hair roots for carrier detection.

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Associated with Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia in an Iranian Family

Sickle cell-thalassemia associated with glucose- 6-phosphate dehydrogenese deficiency is re­ported in an Iranian family. The father had sickle trait and G.6.P.D. deficiency, the mother minor thalassemia, one of the sons siclc:le ceH-thailasemiia., the oth-er sickle cell trait; the daughter had sickle cell-thalassemia and was carrier of G.6.P.D. deficiellcy. 

Prevalence of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency among Male Donors in Shiraz, Southern Iran

The overall incidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Iranian population is estimated around 10%-14.9%. G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder and 80% of donors are usually male. At present, donors’ blood is not routinely screened for G6PD deficiency in Iran blood bank where for detecting such enzyme deficiency, reliance is placed on pre-donation data. Thus, the G6PD ...

Possible Association between Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and the Development of Preeclampsia

Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a common enzyme deficiency in the world. It's Prevalence inIranis about 12% in male & about 1% in female. The present study did examine the relation between the development of preeclampsia and G6PD deficiency. It was investigated whether or not the risk of preeclampsia in G6PD deficient women is higher than that in normal pregnant women.A t...

Molecular Characterization of Cosenza Mutation among Patients with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Khuzestan Province, Southwest Iran

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is one of the most common hereditary enzymatic disorders in human, increases the vulnerability of erythrocytes to oxidative stress. It is also characterized by remarkable molecular and biochemical heterogeneity. According to previous investigations, G6PD Cosenza (G1376C) is a common G6PD mutation in some parts of Iran. Therefore in the present...
