Scope note: Tipo de porfiria autosómica dominante debida a una deficiencia en el HÍGADO de protoporfirinógeno oxidasa (EC1.3.3.4), la sexta enzima de la vía biosintética de 8 enzimas del HEMO. Clínicamente se manifiesta por síntomas neurológicos y lesiones cutáneas. Los pacientes excretan concentraciones elevadas de precursores de la porfirina, COPROPORFIRINAS y protoporfirinógeno.Tipo de porfiria autosómica dominante debida a deficiencia de protoporfirinógeno oxidasa en el HÍGADO (EC 1.3.3.4), la séptima enzima de la vía biosintética de 8 enzimas del HEMO.

Scope note: An autosomal dominant porphyria that is due to a deficiency of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (EC 1.3.3.4) in the LIVER, the seventh 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, COPROPORPHYRINS and protoporphyrinogen.
