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.
Homocystinuria due to cystathionine Ξ²-synthase (CBS) deficiency is an inherited disorder of homocysteine transsulfuration, which manifests by neurological, vascular and connective tissue involvement. So far, 130 pathogenic mutations have been recognized in the CBS gene. We examined 10 independent al
