Increased HK1 activity levels in the red cells of a patient with a de novo trisomy 10p: t(Y;10)(p11;p12). 1979

B Dallapiccola, and L Chessa, and P Vignetti, and E Ferrante, and E Gandini

A male patient with mental retardation and typical clinical features of 10p trisomy syndrome was found to have a duplication of the short arm of chromosome 10 attached to the short arm of the Y chromosome. Quantitative evaluation of nine red cell enzymes showed significantly increased activity levels of HK1 and, to a lesser extent, of PK, PGI, 6PGD, and G6PD. It is suggested that the HK1 locus may be in the 10pter leads to p12 region. The increased levels of HK1 could affect other erythrocyte metabolic pathways slowing down the physiological rate of cellular senescence and result in increased activity levels of other cell-age-dependent enzymes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D006593 Hexokinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and a D-hexose to ADP and a D-hexose 6-phosphate. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol, and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase.

D012730 Sex Chromosomes The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.
