Abstract excerpt

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PDd) is the most prevalent enzymopathy worldwide and is particularly frequent in malaria-endemic regions. In Brazil, the distribution of G6PD variants is heterogeneous, with predominance of the African A- variant, although regional diversity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to genotype seven G6PD variants previously reported in Brazilian...
