*It is understood that G6PD deficiency | *It is understood that G6PD deficiency is the result of reduced Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme levels. G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder. It is the most common enzymatic disorder of red blood cells. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme oxidizes glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone in pentose phosphate pathway ( HMP shunt). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme also reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to NADPH. NADPH is an important cofactor in glutathione metabolism against oxidative injury in RBC. Reduced glutathione (GSH) convert to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) by glutathione peroxidase enzyme that prevents oxidant accumulation. Glutathione reductase catalyzes the reduction of GSSG to GSH by NADPH. In G6PD deficiency, oxidative stresses can denature hemoglobin and intravascular hemolysis in RBC can happen. Infection, some medications and foods with high level of convicine, vicine, divicine and isouramil such as fava beans can cause oxidative stress. The spleen is the organ for sequestration damaged RBC. The hemoglobin is metabolized to bilirubin and cause jaundice. | ||

Pathophysiology
Physiology
The normal physiology of G6PD deficiency can be understood as follows:
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that G6PD deficiency is the result of reduced Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme levels. G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder. It is the most common enzymatic disorder of red blood cells. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme oxidizes glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone in pentose phosphate pathway ( HMP shunt). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme also reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to NADPH. NADPH is an important cofactor in glutathione metabolism against oxidative injury in RBC. Reduced glutathione (GSH) convert to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) by glutathione peroxidase enzyme that prevents oxidant accumulation. Glutathione reductase catalyzes the reduction of GSSG to GSH by NADPH. In G6PD deficiency, oxidative stresses can denature hemoglobin and intravascular hemolysis in RBC can happen. Infection, some medications and foods with high level of convicine, vicine, divicine and isouramil such as fava beans can cause oxidative stress. The spleen is the organ for sequestration damaged RBC. The hemoglobin is metabolized to bilirubin and cause jaundice.
Genetics
G6PD deficiency is transmitted in x-linked disorder pattern. The gene G6PD is located in the distal long arm of the X chromosome at the Xq28 locus. [1]
Heterozygous women are usually normal because of lyonization ( X innactivation)[2]
G6PD B, is the wild type or normal. G6PD has 400 variant enzymes. [3] Caucasians, Asians and majority of blacks has G6PD B.
G6PD A+: In Africa, in 20-30 percent of black. In this variant, asparagine is substitued for aspartate, at amino acid 126. [4] It has normal enzyme activity.
The development of G6PD deficency is the result of missense point mutations and also a few deletions. [5]
- G6PD A+:In Africa, in 20-30 percent of black. In this variant, asparagine is substitued for aspartate, at amino acid 126. [4] It has normal enzyme activity.
- G6PD A-: Cause primaquine sensitivity in blacks.
- G6PD mediterranean variant: Single base substitution (C—>T) at nucleotide 563 [6]
- G6PD variants in Asia:
- In China: G6PD Canton (1376 G—>T), G6PD Kaiping (1388 G—>A), G6PD Gaohe (95 G—>A)[7]
- In Southeast Asia: G6PD Mahidol (487G—>A)
Associated Conditions
- G6PD A− and G6PD Mediterranean has protective effect against Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria. [8]
- G6PD deficency is a risk factor of male neonatal sepsis[9]
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology,there are no characteristic findings of G6PD deficiency.
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, Heinz bodies can be visualized as a result of denatured hemoglobin in peripheral blood smears with supravital staining. (Heinz body prep).[10]
