Complement component 3 (C3) is the central molecule of the complement system. It displays a number of polymorphic variants with, as yet, unclear functional consequences. We have investigated a number of rare C3 variants by PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism)

Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism that results from the markedly deficient activity of the fourth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, uroporphyrinogen 111 synthase (URO-synthase).

Fabry disease, an X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism, results from mutations in the a-galactosidase A gene at Xq22.1. Studies of the mutations in unrelated Fabry families have identified a variety of lesions indicating the molecular genetic heterogeneity underlying the disease. Fo
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant inborn error of metabolism that results from the half-normal activity of the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMB-synthase).

Mutations in the human aldolase B gene that result in hereditary fructose intolerance have been characterized extensively. Although the majority of subjects have been from northern Europe, subjects from other geographical regions and ethnic groups have been identified. At present 2 1 mutations have
