Multi-centre analysis of the complex effects of G6PD deficiency on resistance to severe malaria
G6PD deficiency is believed to confer protection against Plasmodium falciparum malaria, but it has proved difficult to define the precise nature of the protective effect, since G6PD deficiency has multiple allelic variants with different effects in males and females, and it has heterogeneous effects...
