Direct cDNA sequencing was performed on asymmetrically amplified transcripts from the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D) gene of thirteen unrelated individuals with acute intermittent porphyria. Four different mutations and a polymorphic site were detected in exon 12 of the gene, four being the resul
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), the most common hepatic porphyria, results from the half-normal activity of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMB-synthase; EC 4.3.1.8), the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway.
