Abstract excerpt
Acute intermittent porphyria is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder, classified as acute hepatic porphyria, caused by a deficiency of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (EC 2.5.1.61, EC 4.3.1.8, also known as porphobilinogen deaminase, uroporphyrinogen I synthase), the third enzyme in heme biosynthesis. Clinical features include autonomous, central, motor or sensory symptoms, but the most common clinical...
