Independent studies by two different groups (Madras and Edinburgh) have failed to confirm the suggestion that measurement of the serum level of pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40, PK) may be superior to measurement of the serum level of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2, CK) for detecting female carriers of X-linked Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). At present the serum level of creatine kinase remains the best test for this purpose.
两个不同研究小组(马德拉斯小组和爱丁堡小组)进行的独立研究未能证实以下观点:对于检测X连锁杜氏肌营养不良症(DMD)的女性携带者,测定血清丙酮酸激酶(EC 2.7.1.40,PK)水平可能优于测定血清肌酸激酶(EC 2.7.3.2,CK)水平。目前,血清肌酸激酶水平仍是用于此目的的最佳检测方法。
