A member asked:

Is there any risk to a heterozygous g6pd deficiency lady during pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Risk ?: If the pairing was with a heterozygous male or with G6PD or one with the disorder I would assume the fetus would likely have the disorder. I would follow a G6PD friendly diet & avoid any G6PD risk medications during pregnancy that might transfer to the fetus.
