Abstract excerpt
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomally dominant inherited metabolic disorders caused by decreased activity of porphobilinogen deaminase, the third enzyme in the human heme biosynthetic pathway. We report here the first mutations in the human porphobilinogen deaminase gene in seven unrelated patients from the Czech and Slovak Republics with acute intermittent porphyria. We used denaturing gradient...
