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]
G6PD and its variants — The monomeric form of G6PD contains 515 amino acids, but the active form of G6PD is a dimer that contains tightly bound NADP [15,16]. Amino acid 205 is the binding site for glucose-6-phosphate, while amino acids 386 and 387 may be involved in binding to NADP [15,17].
The normal or wild-type enzyme is called G6PD B,, although over 400 variant enzymes have been identified [15,16,18,19]. By international agreement, standardized methods have been used to characterize these enzyme variants, which differ on the basis of their biochemical properties, such as kinetic activity and the Michaelis constant for its substrate glucose-6-phosphate and cofactor NADP [20,21]. However, differences between some variants are subtle and may not represent true enzyme differences.
The variants are almost all missense point mutations, although a few deletions have been described [15,18]. Large deletions or frame shift mutations have not been identified, suggesting that complete absence of G6PD may be lethal [15]. Most class I variants that are associated with chronic hemolytic anemia have abnormalities in the glucose-6-phosphate binding or NADP binding site of the enzyme (figure 2) [15].
OR
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of G6PD deficency include:
- [Gene1]
- [Gene2]
- [Gene3]
OR
The development of G6PD deficency is the result of missense point mutations and also a few deletions. [4]such as:
- [Mutation 1]
- [Mutation 2]
- [Mutation 3]
