A 10376 bp deletion of FECH gene responsible for erythropoietic protoporphyria.

Abstract excerpt

Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP, MIM 177000) is an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance since the phenotypic expression requires coinheritance of a null allele and a wild-type low expressed allele of Ferrochelatase gene (FECH). In this study, we identify a peculiar mutation in a young Canadian patient of Italian origin. The patient had clinical and biochemical symptoms of EPP, the wild-type...
