Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of the enzymatic defect responsible for delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) porphyria (ADP) was investigated in a 14-year-old male who presented clinical and laboratory findings typical of ADP. Nucleotide sequence analysis of ALAD cDNAs from the proband revealed two novel mutations, a 265G to A base transition (C1) and a 394C to T base transition (C2), resulting in amino acid...
