Abstract

Introduction: A high prevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has been shown in Thailand. This disease can lead to acute hemolytic crisis, neonatal jaundice and kernicterus in some patients. Objective: To study the genotype of G6PD mutation in neonatal jaundice in Phramongkutklao Hospital. Methods: Study the genotype of 110 newborns who presented with neonatal jaundice from G6PD deficiency by High Resolution Melting (HRM) and direct DNA sequencing in Phramongkutklao Hospital. Result: Twelve G6PD variants have been identified. G6PD Viangchan (871 G>A)(0.390) was the most common identified mutation, followed by G6PD Canton (1376 G>T)(0.130) and G6PD Kaiping (1388 G>A)(0.103) respectively. Moreover, G6PD Valladolid (406 C>T) (0.014) and G6PD Aureus (143 T>C)(0.007) were identified for the first time in Thailand. Mean of microbilirubin was 12.53 ± 3.05 mg/dL and has no correlation with both gender and type of mutations. Conclusion: G6PD Viangchan (871 G>A), G6PD Canton (1376G>T) and G6PD Kaiping (1388 G>A) were the three most common mutations in our study. G6PD Viangchan (871 G>A) and G6PD Kaiping (1388 G>A) were classified into class II which can present acute hemolysis. So, the accurate and rapid testing can prevent and relieve the acute hemolysis in neonatal jaundice.
