prevalence of pyruvate kinase deficiency among the newborns (shiraz-iran)
نویسندگان
چکیده
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: two hundred eleven neonates with neonatal jaundice were studied for erythrocyte pyruvate kinase activity using the method recommended by international committee for standardization in hematology (icsh). results: in 22 the pk enzyme activity was below 60%, where the erythrocyte pk activity from 35 healthy cord bloods ranged from 3.9 – 9.8 iu/g hb. genomic dna analysis for pk-r gene mutation was examined in 12 out of 22 cases (heterozygote 3.8%, 95% ci=0.012-0.064 homozygous 1.8%, 95% ci=0.001-0.036). all mutations in four homozygote and 8 heterozygote neonates in this cohort have been reported from the region previously, except for mutation g1675c that has not been found before. therefore, the rate of recurrence of pk-r gene defect is 4 times more frequent in those with neonatal jaundice in comparison with the regional frequency (0.038). conclusion: erythrocyte enzymopathies, especially pk deficiency, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-immune hemolytic anemia as well as for genetic counseling in our area.

متن کاملErythrocyte pyruvate kinase deficiency among anemic individuals in Bandar Abbas, Iran
Introduction: In addition to G6PD deficiency, human erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PK-R) deficiency is one of the most common causes of non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. Clinical severity of this disorder is not the same in homozygote form of this disease and ranges from mild to chronic and anemia; so it has a wide variation. Severely effected individuals require blood transfusions or splenectomy...

متن کاملPrevalence of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency among Male Donors in Shiraz, Southern Iran
The overall incidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Iranian population is estimated around 10%-14.9%. G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder and 80% of donors are usually male. At present, donors’ blood is not routinely screened for G6PD deficiency in Iran blood bank where for detecting such enzyme deficiency, reliance is placed on pre-donation data. Thus, the G6PD ...
