Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency impairs gluconeogenesis and results in symptoms and signs similar to the hepatic forms of glycogen storage disease but without hepatic glycogen accumulation.
Other deficiencies include those of glycolytic enzymes or enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway. Common examples are pyruvate kinase deficiency ( see Glycolytic Pathway Defects Glycolytic Pathway Defects Glycolytic pathway defects are autosomal recessive red blood cell metabolic disorders that cause hemolytic anemia. (See also Overview of Hemolytic Anemia.) The glycolytic pathway is one of the... read more ) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked enzymatic defect common in people with African ancestry that can result in hemolysis after acute illnesses or intake of oxidant... read more , both of which may result in hemolytic anemia. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome Symptoms and Signs is caused by a partial deficiency of transketolase, which is an enzyme for the pentose phosphate pathway that requires thiamin as a cofactor.
