Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked genetic disorder that results in impaired enzyme activity. The G6PD/6PGD ratio assay was routinely used for G6PD deficiency screening in China, but there is an apparent defect of missed diagnosis in heterozygous females. The study aims to explore the means to improve its accuracy. METHODS: A total of 4,161 Chinese females of...
