Six previously undescribed pyruvate kinase mutations causing enzyme deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Erythrocyte pyruvate kinase deficiency is the most common cause of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. We present 6 previously undescribed mutations of the PKLR gene associated with enzyme deficiency located at cDNA nt 476 G-->T (159Gly-->Val), 884 C-->T (295Ala-->Val), 943 G-->A (315Glu-->Lys), 1022 G-->A (341Gly-->Asp), 1511 G-->T (504Arg-->Leu), and 1528 C-->T (510Arg-->Ter). Two of these mutations are...
