Exacerbation of erythropoietic protoporphyria by hyperthyroidism [PDF]
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a hereditary disorder caused by deficiency of ferrochelatase, the last enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. The majority of EPP patients present with a clinical symptom of painful phototoxicity.

ABSTRACT As hyperpigmentation can worsen with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light (VL), sunscreens with well‐balanced UVB/UVA protection and VL‐blocking pigments are recommended. Assessing efficiency against VL‐induced pigmentation is then mandatory.

Summary Vitiligo is a common pigment disorder of the skin resulting in destruction of melanocytes. Non‐segmental vitiligo (NSV) is an autoimmune disorder. The etiopathogenesis of segmental vitiligo (SV) remains incompletely understood. Genetic predisposition and increased vulnerability of melanocytes towards stressors lead to a melanocyte‐specific CD8+

Gene Dosage Sensitivity and Human Genetic Diseases
ABSTRACT Here we review the historical background and contemporary insights into genetic dominance, focusing on haploinsufficiency (HI), that is, when the function of only one allele of a gene is not enough to ensure a normal phenotype in a diploid organism.

Abnormal Brain Iron Metabolism in Irp2 Deficient Mice Is Associated with Mild Neurological and Behavioral Impairments [PDF]
Iron Regulatory Protein 2 (Irp2, Ireb2) is a central regulator of cellular iron homeostasis in vertebrates. Two global knockout mouse models have been generated to explore the role of Irp2 in regulating iron metabolism.

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Individuals with photosensitivity diseases, including porphyria, face significant challenges in managing their condition due to heightened sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. Comprehensive photoprotection strategies are essential and prioritize environmental modifications, behavioral adjustments, protective
