Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutations and haemoglobinuria syndrome in the Vietnamese population

Abstract: Background: In Vietnam the blackwater fever syndrome (BWF) has been associated with malaria infection, quinine ingestion and G6PD deficiency. The G6PD variants within the Vietnamese Kinh contributing to the disease risk in this population, and more generally to haemoglobinuria, are currently unknown.

“…Finally, we found four mutants that did not classified according to their residual enzyme activity: G6PD Shanghai (Ala231Pro, exon 7) [48], G6PD Karachi (Asp325Asn, exon 9) [49], G6PD Vietnam 1 (Glu3Lys, exon 2) [50], and G6PD Vietnam 2 (Phe66Cys, exon 4) [50] which are shown in the Figure 4.…”

“…Additionally, the four mutants that were not described by Minucchi’s review [34] and that have not been classified according to their residual enzyme activity are the mutants G6PD Vietnam 1 (G7A; Glu3Lys) and Vietnam 2 (T197G; Phe66Cys) detected in the Vietnamese population with hemoglobinuria [50] (Figure 4). The G6PD Shanghai is a novel missense mutation (G691C) in exon 7 of the G6PD producing an Ala231Pro substitution and leading to significantly decreased of G6PD activity in red blood cells.…”

“…This is a protozoal disease transmitted by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes (Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae, P. vivax, and P. ovale). Blackwater fever syndrome is caused by infection with P. falciparum, and is characterized by repeated bouts of chills and fevers, severe intravascular hemolysis and anemia, jaundice, hemoglobinuria (black urine) and splenic enlargement [89][90][91]. Patients often develop fevers above 40°C.…”
