简要总结
Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is the most common red cell glycolytic enzyme defect causing hereditary non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia, caused by mutations in the PKLR gene. The main goal of this study is the diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency in patients who exhibit chronic anaemia and/or splenomegaly and/or judiance and/or hyperbilirubinemia and/or history of prolonged neonatal jaundice and/ or cholelithiasis of undetermined aetiology.
详细描述
Pyruvate kinase deficiency is the most common red cell glycolytic enzyme defect causing hereditary non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia, caused by mutations in the PKLR gene. PKLR encodes a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the transphosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and ATP. The current treatment options are red cell transfusions, chelation and splenectomy.
This is an international, multicentre, epidemiological and observational study.
The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be enrolled into the Study and genetically tested for PKLR mutations via Next generation sequencing (NGS). Any mutation being detected by NGS, will be confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
PKLR-positive samples (homozygous or compound heterozygous for pathogenic variants) will be analysed for the identification of potential biomarkers via liquid chromatography multiple reaction-monitoring mass spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) and compared to a merged control samples in order establish a PKD specific biomarker.
