Abstract excerpt
The natural mutations observed in pyruvate kinase (PK)-M2, a homotetramer isozyme, in this study correlated with the differential activity of the enzyme in a dominant negative manner in B-lymphoblastoid cells, established from two Bloom syndrome (BS) patients, BS1 and BS3 by 50 and 90%, respectively; and by 75% in the freshly obtained PHA stimulated lymphocytes of a BS patient diagnosed for the first time in...
