G6PDD (G6PD deficiency) is passed on the X chromosome.

In most cases only 1 of the parents will have G6PDD, so usually girls (XX) will have 1 affected X chromosome and 1 unaffected X chromosome. So in that case the girl is just a carrier but not affected since the unaffected X-chromosome will still produce the G6PD enzyme.

Since boys (XY) only have 1 X chromosome they are always affected.

So that means your dad is affected and your mom might be affected but is definitely a carrier.

In short, mostly boys are affected.

I was born with G6PD too but it went disappeared after I became an adult. Went for blood test twice and the doctor said I'm free from G6PD already.

Yeah, your child needs to be cautious with certain food like what they mentioned above.

Even if you bring your child to western doctors, tell them that your child has G6PD so that the doctor will be more cautious in choosing the right medicine for him/her. That's what my dad did whenever I fell sick during my childhood.

I've been reading loads of info on this but so far haven't found a single reference that it can disappear. It's a genetic deficiency. Your X-chromosome can't simply change.

I guess it's possible they made a mistake while testing you previously or now. Stay alert.
