Table 2 Analysis of G6PD genotype and phenotype

Deficient (P), deficient RDT read out; Normal (P), normal RDT read out; Deficient (G), deficient gene variant (A- and A-/A-); Heterozygous deficient (G), female with a heterozygous genotype (A/A- or B/A-); Normal (G), gene variants known to posses normal g6pd enzyme activity (A, B, A/A, A/B, B/B). All the samples were analysed for G6PD enzyme activity using the qualitative CareStart™ G6PD RDT kits as well as the presence of the sub Saharan African G6PD gene variants
