A molecular, enzymatic and clinical study in a family with hereditary coproporphyria
A 30-year-old woman suffered from acute crises with abdominal, neurological and psychiatric complaints. Urinary haem precursors and faecal porphyrins were excessively elevated compared to the upper level of th...

Porphobilinogen deaminase gene in African and Afro-Caribbean ethnic groups: mutations causing acute intermittent porphyria and specific intragenic polymorphisms
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), the most common acute hepatic porphyria, is a low-penetrant autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) or hydroxymethylbilane synt...

Porphyrias
The porphyrias are a group of inherited disorders of heme biosynthesis [1, 2]. Each enzyme defect (Table 1) produces a specific pattern of overproduction of intermediates of the pathway, associated with charac...

Identification of the mutations in the parents of a patient with a putative compound heterozygosity for acute intermittent porphyria
The molecular abnormalities responsible for acute intermittent porphyria were investigated in both parents of a girl who was retrospectively diagnosed as having a homozygous form of the disease. The mutations ...

A retrospective study of a patient with homozygous form of acute intermittent porphyria
In 1964 a child with an exceptional form of porphyria was described; she excreted persistently excessive amounts of delta-aminolaevulinic acid, porphobilinogen and uroporphyrin in her urine from early childhoo...

Article
Coexistent hereditary coproporphyria and congenital erythropoietic porphyria (Günther disease)
We present data on one patient with an inheritance pattern for two porphyrias. From her mother she inherited the trait of hereditary coproporphyria; from both parents she inherited the trait of congenital eryt...

Radiological features in congenital erythropoietic porphyria (Gunther's disease)
Gunther's disease or congenital erythropoïetic porphyria is a rare and severe disorder comprising cutaneous and haemolytic symptoms. Photocutaneous lesions are responsible for scleroderma-like calcifications a...

Assignment of the gene for uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase to human chromosome 1 by somatic cell hybridization and specific enzyme immunoassay
A specific enzyme immunoassay of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase was developed and applied to the detection of the human enzyme in man-rodent somatic cell hybrids. This method allowed to assign the gene for uro...

Assignment of the human coproporphyrinogen oxidase to chromosome 9
By using somatic cell hybrids between human fibroblasts and hamster or mouse cells, we have assigned the gene for human coproporphyrinogen oxidase to chromosome 9.

Assignment of human uroporphyrinogen I synthase locus to region 11qter by gene dosage effect
Recently Meisler et al. (1980) reported the results of mouse/human somatic cell hybrid studies which indicated that the locus for human uroporphyrinogen I synthase (UPS) (EC 4.3.1.8) maps to chromosome 11. To ...

The inherited enzymatic defect in porphyria variegata
Protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity and ferrochelatase activity have been measured in blood lymphocytes from patients with porphyria variegata, and from some members of the family of one patient; the mean acti...

Prenatal exclusion of congenital erythropoietic porphyria (Günther's disease) in a fetus at risk
Amniotic fluid porphyrins, biosynthesis of porphyrins by amniotic cells, and uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase were studied after the 17th week of a pregnancy at risk for congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP)

Familial and sporadic porphyria cutanea
Uroporphyrinogen (URO) decarboxylase was measured in hemoglobin-free erythrocytes from subjects with familial porphyria cutanea: the mean activity was about 50% of that found in erythrocytes from normal subjec...

Hereditary Coproporphyria: Demonstration of a Genetic Defect in Coproporphyrinogen Metabolism
Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase is a mitochondrial enzyme (E.C. 1.3.3.3.) that catalyzes the conversion of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX by decarboxylation and oxidation of two propionyl group...
