Abstract excerpt
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal disorder caused by molecular abnormalities in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene coding for the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. So far, more than 160 different mutations responsible for AIP have been identified in this ge...
