Molecular modelling of human red blood cell pyruvate kinase: structural implications of a novel G1091 to a mutation causing severe nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia.

Abstract excerpt

We present a novel G1091 to A mutation in the human liver and red blood cell (RBC) pyruvate kinase (PK) gene causing severe hemolytic anemia. In two families, three children were severely PK-deficient compound heterozygotes exhibiting the G1091 to A mutation and a common G1529 to A mutation on the other allele. In one family, the mother, a G1091 to A heterozygote, later had a second baby with a new husband, also...
