Erythrocyte Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency is hemolytic anemia in cats and caused due to insufficient activity of this regulatory enzyme which results in instability and loss of red blood cells. Symptoms of this anemia can include severe lethargy, weakness, weight loss, jaundice, and abdominal enlargement. This condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive caused by mutation in Felis catus pyruvate kinase isozyme R (PKLR) gene.
Method
Sanger Sequencing
Sample Type
EDTA Blood (>=3mL)
Transport Condition
The sample should be transported at 4°C. (Refer to MBG-C0014)
Turn Around Time (TAT)
The Turnaround (TAT) for routine samples is within 5 working days.
Samples delivered after 11:00 AM will be processed the next working day (unless urgent).
Urgent Samples will be reported within 72 hours and will be charged double.
