Abstract:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is commonly observed in human males. It is a genetic disorder affecting the red blood cells. The diagnosis of G6PD is usually based on blood analysis and there is no specific molecular or genetic test. The complete gene sequence of G6PD is known for different ethnicities. Known single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with G6PD is available in the public databases. Hence, robust, fast and efficient sequencing of G6PD is critical in disease diagnosis. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) with its high reliability is useful in G6PD diagnosis.
