Allelic heterogeneity of G6PD deficiency in West Africa and severe malaria susceptibility
Several lines of evidence link glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency to protection from severe malaria. Early reports suggested most G6PD deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa was because of the 202A/376G G6PD A-allele, and recent association studies of G6PD deficiency have employed genotyp...
