The lack of knowledge on G6PD is a major concern as an estimated 15–26% of the Ghanaian population have G6PD defect [30] and there is established evidence of its association with hyperbilirubinaemia [31] when infants with the defect are exposed to oxidants such as naphthalene balls [32]. The gene discussed is G6PD; the disease is Hyperbilirubinemia.
