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.
Rh null is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an absence of Rh antigens and a varying degree of hemolytic anemia and spherostomatocytosis. We report studies of two Japanese Rh null cases and describe three new missense mutations of RHAG, the locus that encodes Rh50 glycoprotein and
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS2, or Hunter syndrome), rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, results from deleterious mutations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. We report here the mutational analysis of a total of 40 unrelated Italian MPS II patients ranging from mild to severe phenot
