Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common human metabolic disorder in southern China. We investigated the incidence and distribution of mutations, the molecular pathology of affected females and the haplotype association with G6PD deficiency in patients from the Guangxi region. DESIGN AND METHODS: A population-based molecular analysis combining phenotypic...
