Glucose Phosphate Isomerase disease/dificency

Hello my friend has a son who has this. They are having trouble finding any specialist or answers or any Drs in North America.
A disorder that causes hemolytic crisis.
He has had his spleen removed already

https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/gl...ase-deficiency

Anyone know anything about this?

Can the PNH expert help since GPI is associated with chronic hemolytic anemia?

Leigh I was curious about the similarities of the two diseases.
Who should I contact? They are feeling quite hopeless

Hi Heather,

If you are in Houston, contact Dr. Lawrence Rice at Houston Methodist, LRICE@houstonmethodist.org or 713-441-1111.

Are you coming to the AAMDSIF Houston Patient and Family conference in Saturday, April 21, 2048? Dr. Lawrence will be there. https://aamdsif.salsalabs.org/houston2018/index.html
