A common variant is G6PD A+ which is found in 20 to 30 percent of blacks from Africa [23]. It differs from G6PD B by the substitution of a single amino acid, an asparagine for aspartate at the amino acid 126 [24], and has much faster electrophoretic mobility (the letters A and B refer to relative electrophoretic mobilities). G6PD A+ has normal catalytic properties and does not cause hemolysis.

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.

OR

It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].

OR

[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.

OR

Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.

OR


[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].

OR

The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].

OR

The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

The normal physiology of [name of process] 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 oxidize 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 prevent 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 meication and foods with high level of convicine, vicine, divicine and isouramil such as fava beans can cause oxidative stress. Spleen is the organ for sequesteration 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]

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].

Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic histopathological analysis, , Heinz bodies can be visualized as a result of denatured hemoglobin in peripheral blood smears with supravital staining. processed with supravital staining (Heinz body prep).
