No G6PD A- (G202A) variant detected among Plasmodium falciparum-positive patients in Awka, Southeast Nigeria: a hospital-based study

The findings support the absence of the G202A (A-) variant in this cohort and show no detectable differences in parasitaemia or haemoglobin between A+ and B genotypes. Broader genotyping and/or G6PD enzyme activity testing in community representative samples is recommended before drawing population-level conclusions or informing treatment policy.

Abstract

The findings support the absence of the G202A (A-) variant in this cohort and show no detectable differences in parasitaemia or haemoglobin between A+ and B genotypes. Broader genotyping and/or G6PD enzyme activity testing in community representative samples is recommended before drawing population-level conclusions or informing treatment policy.
