  • Title: alpha-Thalassaemia and hyperbilirubinaemia in G-6-PD-deficient newborns.
    Author: Meloni T, Corti R, Costa S, Mele G, Franca V.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1980 Jun; 55(6):482-4. PubMed ID: 7436492.
    Abstract:
    53 newborn infants with both G-6-PD deficiency (29 male hemizygotes and 24 female heterozygotes) and alpha-thalassaemia, and 120 newborn infants with only the enzymatic defect (60 male hemizygotes and 60 female heterozygotes) were studied. 12 of those with both G-6-PD deficiency and alpha=thalassaemia, and 32 of those with only G-6-PD deficiency showed hyperbilirubinaemia. alpha-Thalassaemia does not seem to be implicated in the development of hyperbilirubinaemia in G-6-PD-deficient newborns.
