G6PD deficiency mediated impairment of iNOS and lysosomal acidification affecting phagocytotic clearance in microglia in response to SARS-CoV-2.

The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is X-linked and is the most common enzymatic deficiency disorder globally. It is a crucial enzyme for the pentose phosphate pathway and produces NADPH, which plays a vital role in regulating the oxidative stress of many cell types. The deficiency of G6PD primarily causes hemolytic anemia under oxidative stress triggered by food, drugs, or infection.
