G6PD deficiency is a common genetic trait that can protect heterozygotes from dying from malaria (save in the extremely tiny fraction of individuals who have CNSHA). AHA in a G6PD-deficient child or adult, on the other hand, is a medical emergency that, if not treated promptly and properly, can be fatal. Fava bean consumption is the most common cause of AHA: favism is seen in at least 35 countries, with thousands of cases reported each year. Both primaquine and rasburicase have been linked to iatrogenic deaths in the same and other nations, and these deaths may have been averted. Population screening and health education, as well as the cultivation of fava bean types with nil or low vicine and convicine levels, can help to prevent fascism. G6PD biology is eminently interdisciplinary, having served as a model system in biochemical genetics and in understanding how the red cell responds to oxidative stress; a tool for studying X-chromosome inactivation (human development's most spectacular epigenetic event); a tool for studying clonal populations for years; and a pioneer in the molecular genetics of enzymopathies.

In the five decades in which growth hormone has been prescribed for children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) there has been definite progress, but on the other hand there is still insufficient evidence to answer many basic questions. From an evidence-based perspective the present situation with respect to growth hormone treatment for GHD is therefore far from optimal. First, the diagnosis GHD cannot be defined precisely, because there is a wide range of growth hormone secretion in normally growing individuals, which overlaps with the range observed in children clinically suspected of GHD. Furthermore, all test parameters available have serious drawbacks (1). Therefore, the term GHD stands for a heterogeneous group of congenital or acquired deficiencies (or apparent deficiency). Most patients have an idiopathic isolated GHD, but particularly in that subgroup retesting at the end of growth often shows a normal stimulated growth hormone peak. Of the acquired (organic) GHD, malignancies are the most frequent aetiology, but the incidence of traumatic brain injury may be underestimated.
