Direct cDNA sequencing has been performed on asymmetrically amplified transcripts from the human porphobilinogen deaminase gene. Lymphocytes from 30 patients with acute intermittent porphyria were the source of mRNA; of the seven separate point mutations detected, three were silent, whereas four res
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal disorder caused by molecular abnormalities in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene coding for the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. So far, more than 160 different mutations responsible for AIP have been identified in this gene.
We have recently identified SLC25A13 on chromosome 7q21.3 as the gene responsible for adultonset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) and found seven mutations in the SLC25A13 gene of CTLN2 patients. Most recently, the SLC25A13 mutations have been detected in neonatal/infantile patients with a type of neon
