G6PD and kernicterus: Neonatal jaundice, which can lead to permanent brain damage in a condition called kernicterus, is one of the most devastating consequences of G6PDd.75 In addition, neonates with G6PDd are more likely to develop neonatal jaundice compared with neonates with normal G6PD activity.2 Knowing the G6PD status of individuals, especially in the GMS, can also help with better case management of neonatal jaundice in neonates with G6PDd.
