Q. G-6-P dehydrogenase deficiency is associated with haemolysis of :

A) lymphocytes
B) RBCs
C) platelets
D) leucocytes
Explanation

[Solution from source] Red blood cells rely on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to make NADPH, which protects them from oxidative damage. In the X-linked deficiency, oxidant drugs or fava beans cause RBCs to break down (haemolytic anaemia). White cells and platelets are not the cells that lyse. Answer (2).
