Abstract
Sixty‐eight Andhra males and 45 Andhra females from Visakhapatnam town of Andhra Pradesh, India have been investigated for G‐6‐PD deficiency. The GdB− gene has a frequency of 4.41% among males. No G‐6‐PD deficient females were detected. The present data have been compared with the available tribal and non‐tribal data from Andhra Pradesh. It is observed that the present sample, though non‐tribal in nature, presents a relatively considerable frequency of the GdB− gene.
