Entry term(s) deficiencia de uroporfirinógeno III sintasa
enfermedad de Gunther
porfiria eritropoyética congénita
Scope note: Porfiria autosómica recesiva que se caracteriza por esplenomegalia, fotosensibilidad, anemia hemolítica, y aparición de orina roja a comienzos de la infancia. Esta condición se produce por incremento en la síntesis de uroporfirinógeno I con relación al uroporfirinógeno III en los normoblastos de la médula ósea.

Scope note: An autosomal recessive porphyria that is due to a deficiency of UROPORPHYRINOGEN III SYNTHASE in the BONE MARROW; also known as congenital erythropoietic porphyria. This disease is characterized by SPLENOMEGALY; ANEMIA; photosensitivity; cutaneous lesions; accumulation of hydroxymethylbilane; and increased excretion of UROPORPHYRINS and COPROPORPHYRINS.
