Strong gene dose dependent protective effect of Mediterranean type glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency against <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> malaria

2020-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> X-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common human enzymopathy. The severe Mediterranean variant (G6PDd Med) is common across Europe and Asia. Epidemiological studies investigating the potential protective effect of G6PD deficiency against malaria have yielded conflicting results. <h4>Methods</h4> G6PDd Med genotyping was performed in Pashtun patients in Afgha...
