From 1995 to 1997, we prospectively evaluated the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in 124 patients with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) from Northern France (83 sporadic and 41 familial PCT). Serum samples were analyzed for ferritin, transaminases, HCV antibodies, and HCV RNA. In addition, ge
The strongest risk factor for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is having a relative with the disease. Familial IBD may be one homogeneous subgroup, phenotypically different from sporadic IBD. Several observations support a role for familiarity in disease site and behavior, particularly in
We have characterised three new mutations in the uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase gene in familial porphyria cutanea tarda. The first of these was a G to A substitution in the 5' splice junction of exon 4 which generated an mRNA that lacked exon 4. The second was a nonsense mutation in exon 5 which ch
