Descriptor English: Protoporphyria, Erythropoietic
Descriptor Spanish: Protoporfiria Eritropoyética
Descriptor protoporfiria eritropoyética
Scope note: Porfiria autosómica dominante debida a un déficit de FERROQUELATASA (hemosintetasa), tanto en el HÍGADO como en la MÉDULA ÓSEA, la última enzima en la cadena biosintética de 8 enzimas del HEMO. Las características clínicas incluyen principalmente síntomas neurológicos, raramente lesiones cutáneas, y elevados niveles de protoporfirina y COPROPORFIRINAS en las heces.

Scope note: An autosomal dominant porphyria that is due to a deficiency of FERROCHELATASE (heme synthetase) in both the LIVER and the BONE MARROW, the last enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. Clinical features include mainly neurological symptoms, rarely cutaneous lesions, and elevated levels of protoporphyrin and COPROPORPHYRINS in the feces.
