Diagnosing neonatal pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is challenging, especially when early transfusions render conventional testing inconclusive. Genetic testing, however, is not influenced by transfusions and can provide, in most cases, a definitive diagnosis. We report two unrelated infants with symptomatic PK deficiency, both compound heterozygous for PKLR mutations, including two undescribed missense variants...
