Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) deficiency affects three different organs: red blood cells (RBC), the central nervous system, and muscles. Next-generation sequencing identified a hemizygous mutation (p.V217I) in a 16-year-old Japanese male patient presenting with intellectual disability and episodes of muscle weakness of unknown etiology. Enzymatic analysis demonstrated slightly lower RBC-PGK activity and compensatory increases of other glycolysis enzymes. This is the first mutation found through next-generation sequencing.
磷酸甘油酸激酶(PGK)缺乏症会影响三个不同的器官:红细胞(RBC)、中枢神经系统和肌肉。新一代测序在一名16岁的日本男性患者中发现了一个半合子突变(p.V217I),该患者表现为智力残疾和病因不明的肌肉无力发作。酶分析显示红细胞PGK活性略低,其他糖酵解酶有代偿性增加。这是通过新一代测序发现的首个突变。
