	Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency
		Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency (G6PDD) is an inherited, sex-linked, metabolic disorder characterized by an enzyme defect that leads to the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis) upon exposure to stresses associated with some bacterial infections or certain drugs.
		A deficiency of this enzyme may result in the premature destruction of red blood cells (an acute hemolytic anemia or a chronic spherocytic type) when an affected individual is exposed to certain medications or chemicals, experiences certain viral or bacterial infections, and/or inhales the pollen of, or consumes, fava beans (favism).
		Glucose- 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency is inherited as an X-linked genetic trait.

		Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (see image), a metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells (most notably erythrocytes) by maintaining the level of the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).
		Patients with G6PD deficiency are at risk of hemolytic anemia in states of oxidative stress.
		Deficiency of G6PD in the alternative pathway causes the build up of glucose and thus there is an increase of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE).

		G6PD deficiency is the lack of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (an enzyme present in red blood cells) in the blood, which can cause a type of anemia known as hemolytic anemia.
		Persons with G6PD deficiency cannot protect their red blood cells against the buildup of oxygen chemicals, and the blood cells are destroyed, causing anemia.

		G6PD deficiency is expressed in males carrying a variant gene that produces sufficient enzyme deficiency to lead to symptoms.
		The mean red blood cell enzyme activity in heterozygous females may be normal, moderately reduced, or grossly deficient depending upon the degree of lyonization and the degree to which the abnormal G6PD variant is expressed [3].
		The deficient cells are as vulnerable to hemolysis as the enzyme-deficient red blood cells in males.

		In the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient group, 31 (58.5%) had positive titers for Toxoplasma ; while in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase normal group 9 persons (24%) had positive titers for Toxoplasma.
		The relative risk of infection was 2.5 times more in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient group, a statistically significant difference with a p value of 0.002.
		Conclusion : Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency seems to increase the risk for Toxoplasma infection by 2.5 fold probably due to decreased killing effect, of phagocytic cells.

	Haematology \| 3 Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
		Newborn children with G6PD deficiency are at greater risk of kernicterus and phototherapy is sometimes necessary.
		Because in women 1 of the 2 X chromosomes is inactivated in each nucleated cell (Lyon’s hypothesis), a heterozygous woman has 2 populations of erythroblasts and therefore also 2 populations of red blood cells: a normal population and a deficient population.
		If the G6PD enzyme is deficient, no NADPH is formed, neither is any protective reducing glutathione formed and haemoglobin molecules and red blood cell membrane molecules that contain SH groups may be permanently damaged by oxidising substances.
