Screening
Currently we have a screening test for G6PD deficiency. It is called methemoglobin reduction test (MRT), it is not expensive and it uses cord blood of neonates to check for the enzyme deficiency. Even though it has low sensitivity around 65%, it does have acceptable specificity around[1] 90%.
