Pyruvate kinase deficiency
Clinical data of 19 patients with congenital pyruvate kinase deficiency were analyzed. Insufficient pyruvate kinase confirmed the diagnosis. Laboratory parameters of hemolysis were summarized. In cases of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and unexplained hemolytic anemia, pyruvate kinase activity and next generation sequencing test may help the early diagnosis.通过分析确诊的19例先天性丙酮酸激酶缺乏症患者资料，总结了对先天性丙酮酸激酶缺乏症患者的溶血病因诊断有提示作用的临床和实验室特征。对新生儿高胆红素血症和不明原因的溶血性贫血患者进行丙酮酸激酶活性筛查和二代基因测序可能有助于早期明确诊断。.

S ummary A unique mutant form of erythrocyte pyruvate kinase has been found associated with chronic haemolytic anaemia in a child who is apparently doubly heterozygous for the mutant isoenzyme and for pyruvate kinase deficiency of the classical quantitative type. Clinical and laboratory findings conformed closely to those typically observed in homozygous pyruvate kinase deficiency anaemia. Assayed in fresh haemolysates, the isoenzyme exhibited reduced optimal activity ( c 45% of normal) and an increased Michaelis constant for phosphoenolpyruvate (four to five times greater than normal). The kinetic anomaly was only partially corrected by activation with fructose‐1,6‐disphosphate. Despite some common characteristics, this isoenzyme appears distinct from others reported in the literature and lends support to the polymorphous nature of heritable baemolytic anaemias secondary to defective pyruvate kinase.

Congenital hemolytic anemia in the Basenji dog resembles pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency in man as it is characterized by an abbreviated erythrocyte life span, an intense reticulocytosis, type II autohemolysis and splenomegaly. Glucose utilization and lactate production were inadequate with respect to the immature cell population. Analysis of enzymes involved in erythrocyte glycolysis revealed a deficiency of pyruvate kinase.

Red cell pyruvate kinase deficiency is the most common glycolytic defect causing congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. Pyruvate kinase is the enzyme involved in the last step of glycolysis – the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate producing the enolate of pyruvate and ATP (50 % of total energy ATP of erythrocytes). ATP deficiency directly shortened red cell lifespan. Affected red blood cells are destroyed in the splenic capillaries, leading to the development of chronic hemolytic anemia. It is an autosomal recessive disease, caused by homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in the PKLR gene. There are no exact data on the incidence of pyruvate kinase deficiency, but the estimated frequency varies from 3: 1,000,000 to 1:20,000. The clinical features of the disease and the severity are highly variable. Diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is based on the determination of pyruvate kinase activity and molecular genetic study of the PKLR gene. The variety of clinical manifestations, possible complications, as well as the inaccessibility of diagnostic methods complicate the diagnosis.

Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is the most common enzyme abnormality in the glycolytic pathway. Here, we describe two siblings with PK deficiency that mimicked congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type I.The siblings were referred to our hospital for evaluation of anemia when they were newborns. Their PK enzyme activities were normal. Their bone marrow aspirations and electron microscopies showed CDA-like findings. A CDA panel with next-generation sequencing showed no mutation. Though their PK enzyme levels were normal, a molecular study of the PKLR gene showed a homozygous variant c.1623G > C (p.Lys541Asn) in exon 12 of our patients.Although the diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is difficult, it can be confused with many other diagnoses. Bone marrow findings of these cases are similar to congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. In patients with normal pyruvate kinase enzyme levels, the diagnosis cannot be excluded and genetic analysis is required.

SUMMARY Pyruvate kinase deficiency anaemia was suspected in an 18‐month‐old male Basenji dog after other known causes of canine haemolytic anaemia had been excluded. Anaemia of moderate severity (packed cell volumes 0.20 to 0.26 1/1) and reticulocytosis (uncorrected reticulocyte counts 8 to 43%) persisted during 5 months' observation, and biopsies showed development of bone marrow fibrosis and sclerosis. The diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency anaemia was presumptive because erythrocyte pyruvate kinase concentrations in the affected dog were inconclusive and related animals were not available for enzyme assay. However, the gene for pyruvate kinase deficiency is known to occur among Basenji dogs in Australia.

A pyruvate kinase deficiency prevalence study and determination of the normal levels of the enzyme were performed in Antalya city, Turkey. Heparinized blood samples obtained from a representative population of the Antalya province (617 women and 573 men) were tested for pyruvate kinase deficiency by qualitative and quantitative tests between April 1992 and March 1994. The mean pyruvate kinase activity was found to be 19.8 ± 4.0 IU/g Hb whereas the enzyme activity of deficient cases varied between 7.5 and 12.2 IU/g Hb. Taking into account that pyruvate kinase deficiency is the second most common cause of nonspherocytic congenital hemolytic anemia, detection of deficient cases by genetic screening tests appears to be an informative clinical indicator of hemolytic anemia.
