Abstract excerpt
The molecular abnormalities responsible for acute intermittent porphyria were investigated in both parents of a girl who was retrospectively diagnosed as having a homozygous form of the disease. The mutations in the parents are different from each other and both of them correspond to previously identified G to A changes in the coding part of the porphobilinogen deaminase mRNA. These point mutations lead to the...
