Abstract excerpt
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP), an inborn error of heme biosynthesis, results from the deficient activity of uroporphyrinogen III synthase (URO-synthase). This autosomal recessive disorder is heterogeneous; patients with severe disease are often transfusion dependent, while milder patients primarily have cutaneous involvement. To investigate this phenotypic heterogeneity, exonic point mutations in the...
