title: [Prevalence and incidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in the central region of Cuba].
abstract: The results of screening for G-6-PD deficiency carried out in a sample of 3083 subjects of the central region of Cuba have been analysed in the present study. The frequency of G-6-PD deficiency in this population is high. The proportion of G-6-DP deficient subjects in the negroid group was higher than that encountered in the group of white. No association was found between the age and G-6-DP deficiency.
