Abstract excerpt

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Africa is of high prevalence, although precise data are lacking in many individual nations. We investigated 129 unrelated subjects (71 male subjects, 58 female subjects) visiting a teaching hospital in Freetown, Sierra Leone, to collect baseline data on the distribution of G6PD deficiency among respective ethnic groups in the country. We confirmed eight...
