Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic.When it induces hemolysis, it is usually is short-lived. [5]Most people who develop symptoms are male, due to the X-linked pattern of inheritance, but female carriers can be affected due to unfavorable lyonization or skewed X-inactivation, where random inactivation of an X-chromosome in certain cells creates a population of G6PD-deficient ...
Yeast G6PD is inhibited by long chain fatty acids according to two older publications [14] [15] and might be product inhibition in fatty acid synthesis which requires NADPH. G6PD is negatively regulated by acetylation on lysine 403 (Lys403), an evolutionarily conserved residue. The K403 acetylated G6PD is incapable of forming active dimers and ...
Many patients with 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase deficiency are carriers and have no symptoms. It has been discovered that symptoms manifest more frequently in female carriers. Depending on how severe the deficiency is, it has been demonstrated that enzyme activity is reduced by 35–65%. [citation needed]
The syndrome cannot cause severe indirect hyperbilirubinemia in neonates by itself, but it may have a summative effect on rising bilirubin when combined with other factors, [10] for example in the presence of increased red blood cell destruction due to diseases such as G6PD deficiency.
G6PD deficieny is much more common than favism, and equating the two is being needlessly alarmist. The Al-Ali article (HTML version) is only used as a specific example, not a authoritative reference. It describes a small study of over 757 Saudi men. Over 42% of them tested positive for G6PD deficiency, but none of them reported symptoms of favism.

The scope of GSD VI now also includes glycogen storage disease type VIII, [2] IX [2] (caused by phosphorylase b kinase deficiency) and X [2] (deficiency protein kinase A). The incidence of GSD VI is approximately 1 case per 65,000–85,000 births, [2] representing approximately 30% all cases of glycogen storage disease.
Hypogammaglobulinemia is an immune system disorder in which not enough gamma globulins are produced in the blood (thus hypo-+ gamma + globulin + -emia).This results in a lower antibody count, which impairs the immune system, increasing risk of infection.
