Here in Reading we have a considerable population from ethnic minority
groups. For some time there has been a policy of screening neonates from
ethnic minorities for Haemoglobin variants using cord blood.
I have now been asked whether this can be extended to include screening for
G6PD deficiency. Does anyone have experience of this. Could it be done
using cord blood or a Guthrie blood spot?
Thanks in advance for help
