To assess the molecular epidemiology, variant spectrum, and genotype-phenotype correlations of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency through newborn screening.
Conducted a multicenter, population-based newborn screening investigation across distinct regions in China.
Evaluated a combined screening strategy to determine the diagnostic efficiency, variant spectrum, and regional allele frequencies of G6PD deficiency.
Combined screening improves the diagnostic efficiency of standard newborn screening for G6PD deficiency.
G6PD deficiency prevalence, allele frequencies, and mutation spectra demonstrate marked geographic heterogeneity across regions.

Implication

Multicenter study demonstrates variation in G6PD deficiency variants and frequencies in newborns, suggesting combined screening optimizes diagnosis.

Abstract

This study highlighted that combined screening could enhance the efficiency of current NBS for diagnosing G6PD deficiency. The prevalence, variant spectrum and allele frequency of G6PD deficiency vary across different regions. Our data provide valuable references for clinical practice and optimization of future screening strategies for G6PD deficiency.
