Interrelationship between G-6-PD-deficiency frequency and accumulated number of coronavirus disease 2019 cases: An observation from provinces in a highly endemic area in Indochina

Background The relationship between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) incidence and genetic background is an important clinical issue. A relationship has been proposed between COVID-19 and congenital hereditary blood disorder. Methods The authors report on a link between G-6-PD deficiency frequency and COVID-19 prevalence in an endemic area of a tropical Indochina country where G-6-PD deficiency is common. Results The scattergram can illustrate the descriptive distribution of both researched parameters based on the original data. There is no evident pattern of association between G-6-PD-deficient carrier frequency and COVID-19 incidence in the dual axis image. Conclusions In the research scenario, there was no significant link between G-6-PD insufficiency frequency and COVID-19 incidence, according to the data.
