A 12-year-old male of Chinese ancestry had life-long hemolytic anemia attributed to alpha-thalassemia. Restriction endonuclease mapping of his DNA revealed that in reality, he had three alpha-globin loci, but he was homozygous for pyruvate kinase deficiency. The new pyruvate kinase variant carried by this patient was characterized and designated PK Fukien.
一名12岁华裔男性自幼患有因α地中海贫血导致的溶血性贫血。对其DNA进行限制性内切酶图谱分析后发现,实际上他有三个α珠蛋白基因座,但他是丙酮酸激酶缺乏症的纯合子。对该患者携带的新丙酮酸激酶变异体进行了特征鉴定,并命名为PK福建型。
