Acute Intermittent Porphyria

Seminars in Liver Disease, 1998
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance. Recent population studies suggest that the prevalence of asymptomatic heterozygotes for a mutant AIP gene may be in the range of 1 in 2,000. Clinical manifestations include abdominal pain and neurological dysfunctions.

ACUTE INTERMITTENT PORPHYRIA

Australasian Annals of Medicine, 1959
SummaryA family in which 11 cases of acute intermittent porphyria were found in three consecutive generations has been studied. Evidence is presented that inheritance was by an autosomal dominant gene.The usefulness of the Watson and Schwartz test in such a study and in the diagnosis of acute cases is discussed.
