Abstract excerpt

Malaria has been endemic in India. G6PD deficiency is known to confer resistance to malaria. Many G6PD deficiency variants, some of which are India-specific, are known to occur in high frequencies in India. This is the first systematic molecular-genetic study in multiple populations from India drawn from diverse ethnic, socio-cultural and geographical backgrounds. Resequencing of the G6PD gene was carried out in...
