Abstract excerpt
Decreased uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) activity is a characteristic feature of the most common of the porphyrias, porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). A subgroup of the clinically overt PCT cases is associated with mutations in the gene encoding UROD and inherited as an autosomal-dominant trait. In this study, DNAs from 53 Danish PCT patients were subjected to genetic analysis for UROD mutations using...
