  1. The number of individuals (n) with different glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) genotypes and the number of individuals (N) belonging to different ethnic groups. Normal hemizygous males, A or B; African-type G6PD genotypes associated with deficiency in hemizygous male, A−; normal females, BB, AA, and BA; heterozygous females, AA− and BA−; homozygous females carrying African-type genotypes associated with G6PD deficiency, A−A−. Percentages in parentheses were calculated in relation to the total number of males or females belonging to different ethnic groups (n/N). Soninke/Pular, BM/Pular, and BM/Wolof refer to individuals whose parents belong to two distinct ethnic groups. BM Black Moor
