==Overview==
==Overview==
'''Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency''' is an [[Sex-linked|X-linked recessive]] [[hereditary disease]] featuring abnormally low levels of the [[G6PD]] enzyme, which plays an important role in [[red blood cell]] function. Individuals with the disease may exhibit non-immune [[hemolytic anemia]] in response to a number of causes. It is closely linked to '''[[favism]]''', a disorder characterized by a hemolytic reaction to consumption of [[Vicia faba|broad bean]]s, with a name derived from the [[Italian language|Italian]] name of the broad bean (''fava''). Sometimes the name, [[favism]], is alternatively used to refer to the enzyme
 
deficiency as a whole.
