Targeted next-generation sequencing identifies eighteen novel mutations expanding the molecular and clinical spectrum of PKLR gene disorders in the Indian population.

Abstract excerpt

Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive condition, caused due to homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the PKLR gene resulting in non-spherocytic hereditary hemolytic anemia. Clinical manifestations in PKD patients vary from moderate to severe lifelong hemolytic anemia either requiring neonatal exchange transfusion or blood transfusion support. Measuring PK enzyme activity is the gold...
