  1. Data are expressed as the number of affected individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants (n), the total number of male or female individuals belonging to one of the ethnic groups (N), and percentage in parentheses. The mutations A376G + G202A denote African-type G6PD A−(202). The double mutations A376 + T968C lead to G6PD A−(968) Betica-Selma. None of the patients had A376G + A542T (G6PD A− Santamaria), A376G + G680T (G6PD A−(680)), or C563T mutation (Mediterranean-type G6PD deficiency)
