Five unknown mutations in the LR pyruvate kinase gene associated with severe hereditary nonspherocytic haemolytic anaemia in France.

Abstract excerpt

A survey of PK-deficient patients by molecular biology techniques has been performed in France in 26 unrelated families, in which at least one mutation has been characterized. The patients, of European or North African origin, exhibited approximatively 10% of PK activity. Among the PK-R mutants described, mutation G1529-->A (Arg-509-->Gln) was the most frequent. The strategy followed for the description of PK...
