Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) genetic variations in Thai vivax malaria patients: Implications for 8-aminoquinoline radical cure.

Our findings provide insights about genetic variations of G6PD and CYP2D6 in 88 vivax malaria patients from Yala, which may influence the safety and effectiveness of radical treatment. Optimization of 8-aminoquinoline administration may be required for safe and effective treatment in the studied population, which could be a significant challenge in achieving the goal of eliminating malaria.
