6-phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase deficiency is a hereditary disease characterised by abnormally low levels of the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase enzyme (abbreviated 6PGD). It is a metabolic enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, especially important in red blood cell metabolism.

Famous quotes containing the word deficiency:

    “It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
