Abstract

The incidence of G6PD deficiency among 338 Thai males with senile cataracts was 5.92% while 446 control Thai males gave an incidence of 6.95%. The figures in females were 16.29% and 14% among 201 senile cataracts females and 200 control females respectively. The age of onset of senile cataracts was not different between the G6PD deficient and G6PD normal groups. The findings indicate that, at least in Thailand, G6PD deficiency in general is not a factor in cataractogenesis.
