Abstract excerpt
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (Günther's disease) is a rare disorder of heme biosynthesis inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. The molecular abnormality responsible for the characteristic defect in uroporphyrinogen III synthase activity was investigated in two patients. For the first patient, complementary DNA was specifically amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and subsequently cloned and...
