WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? Multiple sclerosis typically affects women of childbearing age. Data on the association between prenatal exposure to multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, are lacking, and there is paucity of real-life data on congenital anomalies in the offsprings. Drug labels are typically restrictive. WHAT QUESTION DID THIS STUDY ADDRESS?

WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a common X-linked inherited enzyme deficiency. Oxidative stress events put carriers at risk, as they might serve as potential catalysts for acute hemolytic anemia events. Food and medications may precipitate the acute hemolytic event in G6PD-deficient patients, hence, precaution and awareness are needed to avoid these precipitating factors.
