what is the diagnosis of,glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenage deficiency?

Question

it\s all about the deficiency of newborn screening

Answer 1

It's basically an allergy to fava beans. Those who have the deficiency can't eat fava beans or some drugs or they can suffer a severe form of anemia. I had a friend who had a baby with it. As long as you're careful about diet and drugs, it doesn't usually cause problems, although there are exceptions.

The (recessive) gene for G6PD deficiency is carried on the "X" chromosome, so it is most common in boys/men. Because a male only has one "X" gene, there is no dominant gene to offset the G6PD deficiency gene. A girl would have to have 2 genes for the condition to actually have it. So generally speaking, women are carriers and boys/men are affected.

Answer 3

I've heard of this one, but I can't for the life of me remember what the dietary restriction is.

Basically your baby doesn't make a necessary metabolic chemical. Therefore if s/he eats something that requires this enzyme it will be metabolized the wrong way and the byproducts could be toxic.

Glucose is a sugar, and the enzyme is a dehydrogenase for a phosphate substrate...

I'm thinking you may need to watch the complex carbohydrates, pastas, breads, etc. If this is the one I'm thinking of a buildup of lactic acid at toxic levels can induce severe nerve damage.

These disorders are currently only treatable by diet restrictions (for example, PKU positive people can never have NutraSweet or Equal, and for the first 2 years the kids need to be on a special kind of formula).
