Recognized and Emerging Features of Erythropoietic and X-Linked Protoporphyria
Diagnostics, 2022 Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) are inherited disorders resulting from defects in two different enzymes of the heme biosynthetic pathway, i.e., ferrochelatase (FECH) and delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase-2 (ALAS2 ...
