There are errors in the Results section of this article. In fifth sentence of the “Identification of G6PD mutations” subsection, 9.7% should be 89.7%. The correct sentence is: Of these 87 cases, the Mahidol 487G>A type was the most predominant, occurring in 89.7% (78/87) of the subjects.

In the eighth sentence of the same subsection, 58.0% should be 48%. The correct sentence is: In addition, the silent mutation 1311C>T and the intron 11 mutation IVS11nt93T>C co-occurred in 48% (95/198) of the tested individuals (Table 2).

In addition, there is an error in Table 2: The value 18(35.3%) should not appear in the “Heterozygous” column but in the “Male (n = 51)” column. Please see the correct Table 2 here.
