    This document discusses how a lack of the G6PD enzyme causes red blood cells to break down early, leading to anemia. The G6PD enzyme protects red blood cells from destruction. Without this enzyme, red blood cells are vulnerable to breakdown, which can cause anemia due to the reduction of healthy red blood cells.
