Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mutations in malaria endemic area of Thailand by multiplexed high‐resolution melting curve analysis
20 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, the most common enzymopathy in humans, is prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas where malaria is endemic. Anti-malarial drugs, such as primaquine and tafenoquine, can cause haemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals. Hence, G6PD testing is recommended before radical treatment against vivax malaria. Phenotypic assays have been widely used for...
