A deficiency of the muscle isoform of the enzyme, phosphofructokinase (PFK, EC 2.7.1.11), leads to an illness (glycogenosis, Type VII) characterized by myopathy and hemolysis. A patient with this disease and an affected sister were found to have a G to A substitution at the 5' donor site of intron 5 of the PFK-M gene.
