Identification of a novel promoter mutation in the human pyruvate kinase (PK) LR gene of a patient with severe haemolytic anaemia.

Abstract excerpt

Using direct sequencing we analysed the pyruvate kinase (PK) LR gene of a patient with severe haemolytic anaemia due to PK deficiency. A novel promoter mutation -249delA relative to the translation initiation site and the common 1529A mutation in exon 11 of the gene could be identified. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR analysis combined with restriction digestion revealed that the -249delA mutation leads to a...
