G6PD?

[Safta]

I wonder if anyone is aware of a connection between G6PD deficiency and CLL. I have not been tested for G6PD but my kids were, and found positive. I personally have taken aspirin and quinine, and eaten fava beans. I was diagnosed with CLL 5 years ago. I am curious whether other members of this group have the deficiency (you may not be aware of it) and whether there is a correlation.

For those who do not know what this is, here is a quick overview...

I have never seen any connection with CLL, as far as I know it is hereditary...

Thanks. I have never heard of it until this post. Sally

Had to look this up and other than both cll and G6pd can cause anaemia there did not appear to be any link. As parent, it says you would be a carrier without symptoms, but pass it to the children.

Knowing what to avoid I sincerely hope it does not impact too badly on the quality of life of the children.

Best wishes to you and your children.
