G6PD and G6PD deficiency: However, there is a study conducted on the Mediterranean variant of G6PD that found that DKA did not precipitate hemolysis; multiple case reports have documented significant hemolysis in non-Mediterranean variants of G6PD deficiency triggered by DKA, though the exact mechanisms remain elusive [9-14]. This indicates a potential variation in how different G6PD variants respond to oxidative stress, warranting further investigation into the genetic basis of these differences.
