Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency of Red Cells

An autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the PKLR gene (pyruvate kinase). It is the most common cause of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia and is also the most frequent enzyme abnormality of GLYCOLYSIS. OMIM: 266200

Also Known As:

PK Deficiency; Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency; Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency of Erythrocyte
