Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Combined inheritance of genetic variants in ferrochelatase gene (FECH) are implicated in clinical manifestation of Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP). OBJECTIVE: Identify the genetic variants in FECH gene and their associations in the expression of EPP in Argentina. Determine the allelic frequency of polymorphic variants, associations in cis and its linkage disequilibrium. METHODS: The FECH gene was...
