Abstract excerpt
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is attributable to defects in the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) gene. Two new mutations have been found in the PBGD gene in Swedish families. The first is a G to A splice mutation in the last position of intron 9. A screening method using allele-specific ampl...
