Pathogenic G6PD variants: Different clinical pictures arise from different missense mutations in the same codon.

G6PD deficiency results from mutations in the X-linked G6PD gene. More than 200 variants are associated with enzyme deficiency: each one of them may either cause predisposition to haemolytic anaemia triggered by exogenous agents (class B variants), or may cause a chronic haemolytic disorder (class A variants).

Malaria and G6PD Testing.

Early malaria investigators were certainly correct in classifying the species and the species as belonging to the same genus, [...
