Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants and sickle cell genes in Al-Qunfuda, Saudi Arabia.

Tropical and geographical medicine - 1 Jan 2000

el-Hazmi M A, Warsy A S

Abstract excerpt

This study was conducted on 823 male and female subjects to determine the frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency and sickle cell gene in Al-Qunfuda, a densely populated and malaria endemic region in western Saudi Arabia. The results show the presence of both sickle cell and G-6-PD deficiency genes in this population. The prevalence of Hb S heterozygotes in the total population was...
