Low Incidence of Erythrocyte G‐6‐PD Deficiency in Koreans

GIucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in South Vietnamese

“…The incidence among Viet namese is, however, low in comparison to the Cambodian, Laotian and Thai. Other oriental populations with comparably low or lower incidence are the Japanese [14], Ko rean [3], Taiwanese [4,9], non-Hakkanese, non-Kwangtung Chinese [9], Indonesian [II], and Malay [10], G-6-PD Mahidol was first described to occur among Thais and has proved to be the most common variant in Thailand [15]. It is probably identical to G-6-PD Indonesia [8] and G-6-PD B(-) Chinese [5].…”

Incidence of G-6-P D Deficiency and Hemoglobin H Among Filipinos

“…The starch gel was stained with o-dianisidine and hydrogen peroxide [10] to allow detection of small amounts of hemoglobin H if present. [3].…”

Low Incidence of Erythrocyte G-6-P D Deficiency in Vietnamese and Montagnards of South Vietnam

“…As described previously [2][3][4] the sample was diluted with 1 ml of distilled water and the resulting hemolysate stored in an ice-chest until the G-6-P D screening procedure was carried out. The hemolysates always were analyzed within 5 h after the blood collections.…”

“…The hemolysates always were analyzed within 5 h after the blood collections. The screening procedure of Motulsky and Campbell-Khaut as described by Vella [17] was modified for our use [2]. Criteria for classification as normal, in termediate reactor, and G-6-P D deficient were respective dye decolorization times of less than 60 min, 61 to 120 min, and more than 120 min.…”

“…Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-P D) defi ciency rates have been determined in a number of Asian ethnic groups [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and found to vary considerably among those groups. A recent report [7] indicated that the erythrocyte G-6-P D deficiency rate in Vietnamese subjects was low.…”
