Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a rare genetic disease in which patients experience acute phototoxic reactions after sunlight exposure. It is caused by a deficiency in ferrochelatase ( FECH ) in the heme biosynthesis pathway. Most patients exhibit a loss-of-function mutation in trans to an allele bearing a SNP that favours aberrant splicing of transcripts. One viable strategy for EPP is...
