Prenatal diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency

Prenatal diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency.

Prenatal testing for pyruvate kinase deficiency is often requested by parents who already have an affected child. However, before the development of molecular biologic techniques there were no suitable diagnostic methods. We present here two cases in which the diagnosis was established, one using amniotic fluid cells, the other cord blood. Two different approaches were used. The first, using a ...

Prevalence of Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency among the Newborns (Shiraz-Iran)

Background: The frequency of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, an autosomal recessive defect, is approximately 3 per 10,000 individuals in Shiraz and surrounding areas, and is increased due to high consanguinity marriage frequency. The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the frequency and spectrum of gene mutation of PK in newborns, from Shiraz and surrounding areas. Materials and Methods...

First-trimester prenatal diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency in an Indian family with the pyruvate kinase-Amish mutation.

Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a rare red cell glycolytic enzymopathy. The purpose of the present investigation was to offer prenatal diagnosis for PK deficiency to a couple who had a previous child with severe enzyme deficiency and congenital non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. PK deficiency was identified in the family by assaying the enzyme activity in red cells. Chorionic villus sampling ...
