<b><i>Background:</i></b> Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is caused by one or more mutations in the G6PD gene on chromosome X. This study aimed to characterize the G6PD gene variant distribution in Shenzhen of Guangdong province. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 33,562 individuals were selected at the hospital for retrospective analysis, of which 1,213 cases with enzymatic activity-confirmed G6PD deficiency were screened for G6PD gene variants. Amplification refractory mutation system PCR was first used to screen the 6 dominant mutants in the Chinese population (c.1376G&#x3e;T, c.1388G&#x3e;A, c.95A&#x3e;G, c.1024C&#x3e;T, c.392G&#x3e;T, and c.871G&#x3e;A). If the 6 hotspot variants were not found, next-generation sequencing was then performed. Finally, Sanger sequencing was used to verify all the mutations. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The incidence of G6PD deficiency in this study was 3.54%. A total of 26 kinds of mutants were found in the coding region, except for c.-8-624T&#x3e;C, which was in the noncoding region. c.1376G&#x3e;T and c.1388G&#x3e;A, both located in exon 12, were the top 2 mutants, accounting for 68.43% of all individuals. The 6 hotspot mutations had a cumulative proportion of 94.02%. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study provided detailed characteristics of G6PD gene variants in Shenzhen, and the results would be valuable to enrich the knowledge of G6PD deficiency.

AbstractGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is caused by one or more mutations in the G6PD gene on chromosome X. It affects approximately 400 million people worldwide. The purpose of this study was to detect the prevalence of G6PD deficiency and G6PD gene mutations in the hospital-based settings in patients referred for suspected G6PD deficiency. A qualitative fluorescent spot test and dichlorophenol-indolphenol (DCIP) test were performed. G6PD-deficient, positive samples were further processed for mutation analysis by Sanger sequencing. Out of 1,069 cases, 95 (8.8%) were detected as G6PD deficient (by DCIP test) and were sent for molecular analysis. The G6PD Mediterranean mutation (563C > T) is the most common variant among G6PD-deficient individuals followed by the Coimbra (592C→T) and Orissa (131C→G) variants. We concluded that all symptomatic patients (anemic or jaundiced) should be investigated for G6PD deficiency. Our findings will inform our population screening approach and help provide better management for G6PD-deficient patients.

Sequencing Procedure

Abstract The underlying DNA changes associated with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient Asians have not been extensively investigated. To fill this gap, we sequenced the G6PD gene of 43 G6PD- deficient Chinese whose G6PD was well characterized biochemically. DNA samples were obtained from peripheral blood of these individuals for sequencing using a direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing procedure. From these 43 samples, we have identified five different types of nucleotide substitutions in the G6PD gene: at cDNA 1388 from G to A (Arg to His); at cDNA 1376 from G to T (Arg to Leu); at cDNA 1024 from C to T (Leu to Phe); at cDNA 392 from G to T (Gly to Val); at cDNA 95 from A to G (His to Arg). These five nucleotide substitutions account for over 83% of our 43 G6PD-deficient samples and these substitutions have not been reported in non-Asians. The substitutions found at cDNA 392 and cDNA 1024 are new findings. The substitutions at cDNA 1376 and 1388 account for over 50% of the 43 samples examined indicating a high prevalence of these two alleles among G6PD-deficient Chinese. Our findings add support to the notion that diverse point mutations may account largely for much of the phenotypic heterogeneity of G6PD deficiency.
