Abstract
A case of hyperbilirubinemia in a newborn Chinese infant, due to G-6-PD deficiency, is presented. Family study revealed two severely affected maternal uncles. The mother, maternal grandmother, two maternal aunts, and four female cousins appeared to be heterozygous female carriers. In a small survey of 53 healthy Chinese adults, moderate to severe G-6-PD deficiency was found in three males, or an incidence of approximately 5.6%.
