Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the PKLR gene, which constitutes the main cause of chronic non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. PKD incidence is estimated in 1 in 20,000 people worldwide. The PKLR gene encodes for the erythroid pyruvate kinase protein (RPK) implicated in the last step of the anaerobic glycolysis in red blood cells. The de...
