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. 

Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: evidence of differences between Negroes and Caucasians with respect to this genetically determined trait.

Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-P.D.) deficiency is associated with an increased susceptibility to hemolysis following ingestion of such agents as primaquine, naphthaline, sulfonamides, other drugs and the fava bean (1, 2). The incidence of this trait varies considerably among different population groups. Thus, it is relatively common among Negroes (3-7) and among Caucasians ...

Hereditary disorders in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.

Hereditary diseases and congenital malformations have been reported to affect 2-5% of all live births. Available evidence suggests that genetic disorders are equally important also in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Considerable achievements have been made over the last two decades in controlling communicable diseases in the region. Concurrently, there has been a mounting awarene...
