Pooled prevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency among malaria patients in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

2026Open accessGondar University

Abstract

In this study, the overall pooled prevalence of G6PDd was 6%. The prevalence of emerging mutant variants such as ChrX:154535443, ChrX:6369, ChrX:6504, and G267 + 119C/T has been detected in specific study areas. However, the majority of G6PDd cases were associated with the A376G and A376T mutant variants. The G6PDd G202A was also detected even if its distribution was low compared to these mutants.
