Welcome

If you or a family member have been diagnosed with Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency, you probably have many questions running through your head. What kind of disease is it? Will I or my family member be able to live a normal life? What precautions should I take?

The mission of this website is to answer your questions. It is created and managed by Charlotte, Jennifer, Laure, Maaike and Robert. We all have Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency and feel the need to have access to comprehensible information about this rare disorder. Although the website is still under construction, we hope you will find some valuable information.
