Cytochemical flow analysis of intracellular G6PD and aggregate analysis of mosaic G6PD expression
Medicines that exert oxidative pressure on red blood cells (RBC) can cause severe hemolysis in patients with glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Due to X‐chromosome inactivation, females heterozygous for G6PD with 1 allele encoding a G6PD‐deficient
protein and the other a normal protein produce 2 RBC populations each expressing exclusively 1 allele. The G6PD mosaic is not captured with routine G6PD tests.
