Abstract:A 15 year child is presented with transfusion dependent chronic anemia.
The clinical and laboratory features suggested a chronic nonspherocytic
hemolytic anemia (CNSHA) with bone marrow suggestive of congenital
dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA). DNA studies revealed the underlying
novel mutation in the PKLR gene responsible for pyruvate kinase
deficiency.
