Next generation sequencing (NGS) in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency studies
نویسنده
چکیده
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is commonly observed in human males. It is a genetic disorder affecting the red blood cells. The diagnosis of G6PD is usually based on blood analysis and there is no specific molecular or genetic test. The complete gene sequence of G6PD is known for different ethnicities. Known single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with G6PD is available in the public databases. Hence, robust, fast and efficient sequencing of G6PD is critical in disease diagnosis. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) with its high reliability is useful in G6PD diagnosis.

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...

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 ...
