The G6PD gene, located on the X chromosome, the encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency), also known as favism (after the fava bean), is an X-linked recessive inborn error of metabolism that predisposes to hemolysis (spontaneous destruction of red blood cells) and resultant jaundice in response to a number of triggers, such as certain foods, illness, or medication. Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic; symptomatic patients are almost exclusively male, due to the X-linked pattern of inheritance. Wikipedia

Two variants (G6PD A−/rs1050828 and G6PD Mediterranean/rs5030868) are the most common in human populations. G6PD A− has an occurrence of 10% of Africans and African-Americans while G6PD Mediterranean is prevalent in the Middle East. The known distribution of the mutated allele is largely limited to people of Mediterranean origins (Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, Armenians, Sephardi Jews and other Semitic peoples). Both variants are believed to stem from a strongly protective effect against malaria.Wikipedia

The World Health Organization classifies G6PD genetic variants into five classes, the first three of which are deficiency states:

  • Class I: Severe deficiency (<10% activity) with chronic (nonspherocytic) hemolytic anemia
  • Class II: Severe deficiency (<10% activity), with intermittent hemolysis
  • Class III: Mild deficiency (10-60% activity), hemolysis with stressors only
  • Class IV: Non-deficient variant, no clinical sequelae
  • Class V: Increased enzyme activity, no clinical sequelae


Many substances are potentially harmful to people with G6PD deficiency. Variation in response to these substances makes individual predictions difficult. Antimalarial drugs that can cause acute hemolysis in people with G6PD deficiency include primaquine, pamaquine, and chloroquine. There is evidence that other antimalarials may also exacerbate G6PD deficiency, but only at higher doses. Sulfonamides (such as sulfanilamide, sulfamethoxazole, and mafenide), thiazolesulfone, methylene blue, and naphthalene should also be avoided by people with G6PD deficiency as they antagonize folate synthesis, as should certain analgesics (such as phenazopyridine and acetanilide) and a few non-sulfa antibiotics (nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin, isoniazid, dapsone, and furazolidone) as well as glipizide. Many of these drugs are labelled with precautions by the FDA.Wikipedia

Based on the table shown below, genosets gs309, gs307 and gs308 detect the presence of zero, at least one, or two class I, II and III mutations in data uploaded to Promethease, respectively.

The following table lists the G6PD variants with rs-ids known to be from WHO (functional) classes I, II and III as defined above. Males should be considered at risk when carrying only of these classes of variants. However, due in particular to variable and random X chromosome inactivation, determining whether a heterozygous female is at increased risk of drug-induced hemolytic anemia is not possible without measuring G6PD activity.[PMID 24787449OA-icon.png],[PMID 22293322]
