Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is one of the most common human genetic abnormalities, and it has a significant prevalence in the male population (X chromosome linked). The purpose of this study was to estimate the frequency of impaired fasting glucose and diabetes among G6PD-deficient persons in Manaus, Brazil, an area in the Western Brazilian Amazon to which malaria is endemic. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient males had more impaired fasting glucose and diabetes. This feature could be used as a screening tool for G6PD-deficient persons who are unable to use primaquine for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax malaria.
葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)缺乏症是人类最常见的遗传异常之一,在男性人群(X染色体连锁)中具有较高的患病率。本研究的目的是估计巴西马瑙斯(巴西西部亚马逊地区,疟疾流行)G6PD缺乏者中空腹血糖受损和糖尿病的发生率。G6PD缺乏的男性空腹血糖受损和患糖尿病的情况更多。这一特征可作为一种筛查工具,用于那些不能使用伯氨喹进行间日疟原虫疟疾根治的G6PD缺乏者。
