A new variant case of muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency, coexisting with gastric ulcer, gouty arthritis, and increased hemolysis
Abstract
Muscle phosphofructokinase (PFK) deficiency includes both clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions. A 22-year-old man with muscle PFK deficiency due to previously unrecognized mutation was admitted because of gastric ulcer. He had noticed mild fatigability on vigorous exercise, but had never experienced painful cramps and myoglobinuria. His history included five time relapses of gastric ulcer and gouty arthritis at ages 19 and 21 years. His laboratory data showing impaired muscle glycolysis, increased hemolysis, and myogenic hyperuricemia had aspects in common with those reported for the classic form of this disease, except that lactate concentrations in his blood increased considerably after exercise. The mutant PFK enzyme of this patient, who was demonstrated to have a missense mutation, could exert some catalytic activity that permitted glycolytic flux in vivo, thus leading to the absence of typical myopathic symptoms. The association of relapsing gastric ulcer with muscle PFK deficiency was detected for the first time. There is a possibility that oxygen radical-induced tissue damage resulting from increased hypoxanthine on exertion plays a role in the pathogenesis of ulceration, since the patient is more tolerant to exercise than reported cases with the classic form of muscle PFK deficiency.
