Functional analysis of G6PD variants associated with low G6PD activity in the All of Us Research Program
28 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme protects red blood cells against oxidative damage. Individuals with G6PD-impairing polymorphisms are at risk of hemolytic anemia from oxidative stressors. Prevention of G6PD deficiency-related hemolytic anemia is achievable by identifying affected individuals through G6PD genetic testing. However, accurately predicting the clinical consequence of G6PD variants...
