Acute Intermittent Porphyria: An Overview of Therapy Developments and Future Perspectives Focusing on Stabilisation of HMBS and Proteostasis Regulators [PDF]
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease with low clinical penetrance, caused by mutations in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene, which encodes the third enzyme in the haem biosynthesis pathway.

Givosiran: a targeted treatment for acute intermittent porphyria. [PDF]
Abstract The acute hepatic porphyrias (AHPs) are a family of rare genetic diseases associated with attacks of abdominal pain, vomiting, weakness, neuropathy, and other neurovisceral symptoms. Pathogenic variants in 1 of 4 enzymes of heme synthesis are necessary for the development of AHP, and the onset of acute attacks also requires the ...

Studies on the acute porphyrias : with special reference to women’s health [PDF]
The acute porphyrias are a group of rare inherited disorders of the metabolism of heme. Three acute porphyrias comprise most of the cases: acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) and variegate porphyria (VP).

CADTH recommends that Givlaari should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) in adults if certain conditions are met. Givlaari should only be covered to treat patients who have experienced 4 or more attacks requiring either hospitalization, an urgent health care visit, or intravenous hemin in ...

Portuguese Consensus on Acute Porphyrias: Diagnosis, Treatment, Monitoring and Patient Referral
Acute porphyrias are a group of rare genetic metabolic disorders, caused by a defect in one of the enzymes involved in the heme biosynthesis, which results in an abnormally high accumulation of toxic intermediates.
