Quizplus · Accepted Answer

G6PD deficiency is a sex-linked inherited disease that mainly affects males. Females can also have the disease if they inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. The deficiency leads to breakdown of red blood cells and can cause hemolytic anemia, but not continuous intravascular hemolysis. Splenectomy is not commonly done to control symptoms, and the majority of erythrocytes in these individuals are not necessarily microcytic.
