Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a genetic condition caused primarily by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). It is the most prevalent enzymopathy globally and directly impacts the ability of red blood cells to respond to oxidative stress. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of G6PD variants in Amazon blood donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was...
