  • Title: [Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency among the student population of Milan].
    Author: Gualandri V, Orsini GB, Porta E, Gerli GC.
    Journal: J Genet Hum; 1983 Sep; 31(3):201-9. PubMed ID: 6655462.
    Abstract:
    In our Department a yearly screening is carried out on the school population of Milan, in order to detect beta-thalassaemic trait carriers and G-6-P-D deficient males. This report deals with the results obtained on a group of 21,118 males. They all showed very low enzyme activity and often just detectable; the fall of GSH after incubation with acetylphenhylhidrazine appeared significantly greater than normal. Only 3 cases of hemolytic crises by fava beans ingestion and 7 cases of neonatal jaundice resulted from anamnestic data.
