Pathogenicity was predicted using in silico tools and ACMG criteria. Structural consequences were modeled with AlphaFold3 and Chimera\u2010X. Functional impact was assessed by Western blot and immunofluorescence in transfected 293T cells.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      All patients presented with neonatal hemolytic anemia.

Two novel variants were identified: c.1708G&gt;A (p.Val570Met) and c.1430C&gt;T (p.Thr477Ile). In silico analysis predicted both as damaging. Structural modeling suggested p.Val570Met disrupts inter\u2010subunit hydrogen bonds, while p.Thr477Ile lies within the fructose\u20101,6\u2010bisphosphate (FBP) binding loop. In\u00a0vitro, both mutants showed reduced protein expression compared to wild\u2010type but normal cytoplasmic localization.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We identified two novel\n                      <jats:italic>PKLR<\/jats:italic>\n                      variants expanding the mutational spectrum of PKD. Integrated analysis suggests p.Val570Met may impair tetramer stability, whereas p.Thr477Ile likely affects allosteric regulation. These findings underscore the value of combining clinical phenotyping with functional studies for accurate variant interpretation in PKD.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
