Descriptor coproporfiria hereditaria
Scope note: Porfiria autosómica dominante debida a déficit de COPROPORFIRINÓGENO OXIDASA en el HÍGADO, la sexta enzima de la vía biosíntética de 8 enzimas del HEMO. Las características clínicas comprenden síntomas neurológicos y lesiones cutáneas. Los pacientes excretan concentraciones elevadas de precursores de la porfirina, ÁCIDO 5-AMINOLEVULÍNICO y COPROPORFIRINAS.Porfiria autosómica dominante debida a déficit de COPROPORFIRINÓGENO OXIDASA en el HÍGADO, la sexta enzima de la vía biosíntética de 8 enzimas del HEMO.

Scope note: An autosomal dominant porphyria that is due to a deficiency of COPROPORPHYRINOGEN OXIDASE in the LIVER, the sixth enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. Clinical features include both neurological symptoms and cutaneous lesions. Patients excrete increased levels of porphyrin precursors, 5-AMINOLEVULINATE and COPROPORPHYRINS.
