## Communicated by Mark Paalman Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive disorder with the typical manifestation of nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. We analyzed the mutant enzymes of 10 unrelated patients with PKD, whose symptoms ranged from a mild, chronic hemolytic anemia t

## Abstract In this study, possible adverse effects of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency on the maturation of erythroid progenitors were investigated. A 4โyearโold Japanese girl with severe PK deficiency underwent splenectomy to reduce her need for blood transfusions. The spleen was examined a histol
Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a X-linked enzyme that plays a key role in the glycolytic pathway. Twelve different variants have already been reported. We describe a new PGK variant, PGK Herlev (Asp 285ยฎVal), in a 69-year-old Danish patient with isolated chronic hemolysis but who had no neurologic
A mutant form of pyruvate kinase (PK) from the red blood cells of a consanguineous family with severe non-spherocytic haemolytic anaemia has been characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing. The variant enzyme was named PK Mondor, according to the recommendations of
