“…Out of a total of 19 identified variants (our investigation and the results of Panich et al [8], table III), 5 G6PD variants are of the Canton type. Thus it seems that G6PD Canton occurs with a relatively high fre quency in Indochina.…”

69 out of 2,304 Vietnamese males were found to be hemizygous carriers of the Gd^– gene. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency had a polymorphic frequency in the Vietnamese population (0.0299). Genetic heterogeneity in G6PD was found – 3 G6PD variants were found among 13 G6PD-deficient males studied (G6PD Canton, G6PD Hanoi and G6PD Vin Fu). Two new variants were identified – G6PD Hanoi and G6PD Vin Fu.

“…Panich et al [8] examined the kinetic parame ters of G6PD in 6 out of 7 G6PD-deficient males and identified 3 G6PD variants: G6PD Mahidol, G6PD Canton and G6PD Long Xuyen [6][7][8]. G6PD Canton is a widely distributed variant, whereas G6PD Mahidol occurs at a polymorphic frequency in Indochina [3,5,6,7].…”

Hematologic genetic disorders among Southeast Asian refugees

et al. 1985

Resettlement of Southeast Asian refugees has introduced into the Western Hemisphere many persons of all major ethnic groups from Indochina. They represent several distinctive cultural, genetic, and linguistic groups, and the prevalence of genetic traits among them varies accordingly. We studied 778 Southeast Asian persons resettled in the upper Midwest who belonged to 182 unrelated families from the five major Southeast Asian ethnic groups. High prevalences of hemoglobin E, alpha- and beta-thalassemia disorders, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency were found. The prevalences of these four conditions in the refugees are among the highest known in the world. For these groups, iron deficiency is an uncommon cause of microcytosis; instead, the most frequent causes are hemoglobin E and alpha-thalassemia-1. Very serious thalassemic disorders occur with unusually high frequency in the refugees, especially in the Tai-Dam.
