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

A deficiency in the activity of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), the fifth enzyme of the haem biosynthetic pathway, is found in familial porphyria cutanea tarda (F-PCT) and hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP). A new mutation (R292G) and a deletion have been found in a pedigree with two HEP pa
In this work, we describe seven novel molecular defects in the uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase gene responsible for familial porphyria cutanea tarda in Italian subjects with reduced erythrocyte URO-D activity. Four of these molecular abnormalities (R142Q, L161Q, S219F, P235S) are missense mutations,
