Estimating carrier rates and prevalence of porphyria-associated gene variants in the Chinese population based on genetic databases.

Abstract excerpt

Porphyria is a group of rare metabolic disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding crucial enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway. However, the lack of comprehensive genetic analysis of porphyria patients in the Chinese population makes identifying and diagnosing carriers of the condition challenging. Using the ChinaMAP database, we determined the frequencies of P/LP porphyria-associated gene variants...
