Table 1.
Frequency of G6PD gene mutations in icteric and non-icteric neonates with G6PD deficiency
| Group Mutation |
Non-icteric
Frequency (%) |
Icteric
Frequency (%) |
P-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mediterranean | 27 (54%) | 28 (56%) | 0.841 |
| Chatham | 09 (18%) | 16 (32%) | 0.106 |
| Cosenza negative * | 14 (28%) | 06 (12%) | 0.046 |
| Total | 50 (100%) | 50 (100%) |
* Those cases evaluated in terms of Cosenza mutation and all were negative are probably related to other G6PD gene mutations
