Abstract excerpt
A deficiency in the activity of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (URO-D), the fifth enzyme of the haem biosynthetic pathway, is found in two hereditary diseases, familial porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) and hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP). Little is known about the genetic relationship between those two diseases and it has been postulated that HEP is the homozygous form of PCT. A URO-D cDNA was cloned from an...
