Outcome of G6PD intermediate from journal
Concensus proposal

Inheritance G6PD
Most Common inherited Human Enzyme deficiency
X linked recessive trait. distal long arm X chromosome
Mainly male will inherited the disease
However, female will sometime has G6PD
deficiency/intermediate because of
mosaicism(mutation) of X chromosome leading to
partial deficiency will not easy to detect with screening
test. Or Lyonization of X linked chromosome.

How screening in detecting ? STEPS


Labour room/OT to Lab
Prepare filter papers put on the blood samples
Let Filter papers to dry
View under fluorescence
View the spots under long-wave UV light.
Classify samples as normal, intermediate, or deficient.
Dispose of or store filter papers.

WHO guideline

How collection been done? If


suggest for repetition.
Collection WHO
all protocols recommend use of venous blood.
There are not sufficient data to recommend the use of
capillary blood in fluorescent spot assays.
Use of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or acid-citratedextrose (ACD) anticoagulants is acceptable.

WHO guideline

Handling specimen after collection.


Specimen handling
Before receiving and processing samples, ensure that they
were properly stored after collection and during shipping (if
applicable). Samples must have been refrigerated between
2C and 8C.
No clotting observed.
Less than 1 week since draw date.

Set Back for Fluroscence test?


The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)
fluorescent spot test (FST) is a useful screening test for
G6PD deficiency, but is unable to detect heterozygote
G6PD-deficient females.

WHO guideline

To repeat or not to repeat IF G6PD


intermediate newborn?
Male, rarely will get intermediate except inherited
Mosacism X Chromosome from mother/ random
mutation which is rare General Rule Treat as
deficient.
However for female, Heterozygous has been noted in x
chromosome and mutation cases do report in x
chromosome of female Ideally should repeat
But with same fluorescence method or gold standard
enzyme activity?

What influences the result findings?

Consideration as enzyme activity test has limited


center doing if repeat G6PD with Fluoroscence test
Repeated G6PD intermediate: If repeated Intermediate
Treat as deficiency
Repeated G6PD intermediate: If repeated NORMAL
Treat as normal or deficient as fluorescence test cannot
detect mild G6PD deficiency
