Genotype‐phenotype correlation and molecular heterogeneity in pyruvate kinase deficiency

Abstract excerpt

Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a rare recessive congenital hemolytic anemia caused by mutations in the PKLR gene. This study reports the molecular features of 257 patients enrolled in the PKD Natural History Study. Of the 127 different pathogenic variants detected, 84 were missense and 43 non-missense, including 20 stop-gain, 11 affecting splicing, five large deletions, four in-frame indels, and three...
