Résumé

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive enzymatic disorder, particularly prevalent in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In the US, about 14% of black men are affected. Individuals with G6PD deficiency are often asymptomatic but may develop hemolysis following an infection or upon consumption of specific medications. Despite some evidence that G6PD deficiency affects the immune system, the long- term health risks associated with G6PD deficiency had not been studied in a large population. In this retrospective cohort study, health records from G6PD deficient individuals were compared to matched controls in a national healthcare provider in Israel (Leumit Health Services). Rates of infectious diseases, allergic conditions and autoimmune disorders were compared between groups. The cohort included 7,473 G6PD deficient subjects (68.7% men) matched with 29,892 control subjects (4:1 ratio) of the same age, gender, socioeconomic status and ethnic group, followed during 14.3±6.2 years.Significantly increased rates for autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases and allergic conditions were observed throughout this period. Notable increases were observed for rheumatoid arthritis (OR 2.41, p<0.001), systemic lupus erythematosus (OR 4.56, p<0.001), scleroderma (OR 6.87, p<0.001), pernicious anemia (OR=18.70, P<0.001), fibromyalgia (OR 1.98, p<0.001), Graves' disease (OR 1.46, P=0.001), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (OR 1.26, P=0.001). These findings were corroborated with elevated rates of positive autoimmune serology and higher rates of treatment with medications commonly used to treat autoimmune conditions in the G6PD deficient group. G6PD deficient individuals suffer from higher rates of autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and allergic conditions.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive enzymatic disorder, particularly prevalent in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In the US, about 14% of black men are affected. Individuals with G6PD deficiency are often asymptomatic but may develop hemolysis following an infection or upon consumption of specific medications. Despite some evidence that G6PD deficiency affects the immune system, the long- term health risks associated with G6PD deficiency had not been studied in a large population.
METHODS METHODS
In this retrospective cohort study, health records from G6PD deficient individuals were compared to matched controls in a national healthcare provider in Israel (Leumit Health Services). Rates of infectious diseases, allergic conditions and autoimmune disorders were compared between groups.
RESULTS RESULTS
The cohort included 7,473 G6PD deficient subjects (68.7% men) matched with 29,892 control subjects (4:1 ratio) of the same age, gender, socioeconomic status and ethnic group, followed during 14.3±6.2 years.Significantly increased rates for autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases and allergic conditions were observed throughout this period. Notable increases were observed for rheumatoid arthritis (OR 2.41, p<0.001), systemic lupus erythematosus (OR 4.56, p<0.001), scleroderma (OR 6.87, p<0.001), pernicious anemia (OR=18.70, P<0.001), fibromyalgia (OR 1.98, p<0.001), Graves' disease (OR 1.46, P=0.001), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (OR 1.26, P=0.001). These findings were corroborated with elevated rates of positive autoimmune serology and higher rates of treatment with medications commonly used to treat autoimmune conditions in the G6PD deficient group.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
G6PD deficient individuals suffer from higher rates of autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and allergic conditions.
