Genes affected
PKLR (HGNC:9020): (pyruvate kinase L/R) The protein encoded by this gene is a pyruvate kinase that catalyzes the transphosphorylation of phohsphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and ATP, which is the rate-limiting step of glycolysis. Defects in this enzyme, due to gene mutations or genetic variations, are the common cause of chronic hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA or HNSHA). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 384 of the PKLR protein (p.Thr384Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs74315362, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hemolytic anemia (PMID: 1896471, 7948315). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1507). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PKLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PKLR function (PMID: 1896471, 11960989). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
