To determine if the presence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDD) was correlated with a particular ABO blood type, results from a predeployment screening for G6PDD were categorized according to ABO blood type. The prevalence of G6PDD in blacks, Asians, and Mediterraneans (11.6%) mirrored that of other researchers. The most common blood type associated with G6PDD was O positive. Unlike those of other authors, this study did not disclose a statistically significant correlation (chi 2 = 11.354, df = 3, p < 0.01) between any one blood type and the presence of G6PDD.
