Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Causing Priapism [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive defect of the enzyme pyruvate kinase (PK) which is involved in catalyzing a reaction that produces ATP in the glycolytic pathway. It is the most common defect of the glycolytic pathway associated

Molecular heterogeneity of pyruvate kinase deficiency [PDF]
Red cell pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is the most common glycolytic defect associated with congenital non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. The disease, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, is caused by mutations in the PKLR gene and is ...

Development of the pyruvate kinase deficiency diary and pyruvate kinase deficiency impact assessment: Disease‐specific assessments [PDF]
AbstractIntroductionCurrently recommended patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures for patients with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency are non‐disease‐specific. The PK Deficiency Diary (PKDD) and PK Deficiency Impact Assessment (PKDIA) were developed to be more targeted measures for capturing the symptoms and impacts of interest to this patient population.

Pyruvate kinase deficiency in children [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundPyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is a rare, autosomal recessive red blood cell enzyme disorder, which leads to lifelong hemolytic anemia and associated complications from the disease and its management.MethodsAn international, multicenter registry enrolled 124 individuals younger than 18 years old with molecularly confirmed PKD from ...

Updates and advances in pyruvate kinase deficiency [PDF]
Mutations in the PKLR gene lead to pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, causing chronic hemolytic anemia secondary to reduced red cell energy, which is crucial for maintenance of the red cell membrane and function. Heterogeneous clinical manifestations can result in significant morbidity and reduced health-related quality of life.
