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

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,

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is caused by a decreased activity of the hepatic enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (URO-D). This deficiency causes overproduction, hepatic deposition, and increased excretion of uroporphyrin. Iron overload and hepatic viral infections are considered aggravating fact

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). T o date, 17 mutations have been described including 1
