Variegate Porphyria with Coexistent Decrease in Porphobilinogen Deaminase Activity
Variegate porphyria is a rare disease caused by a deficiency of protoporphyrinogen oxidase. In most cases, the clinical findings are a combination of systemic symptoms similar to those occurring in acute intermittent porphyria and cutaneous lesions indistinguishable from those of porphyria cutanea tarda.

Exogenous 2,4-Epibrassinolide Alleviates Alkaline Stress in Cucumber by Modulating Photosynthetic Performance [PDF]
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are recognized for their ability to enhance plant salt tolerance. While considerable research has focused on their effects under neutral salt conditions, the mechanisms through which BRs regulate photosynthesis under alkaline salt ...

PORPHOBILINOGEN DEAMINASE AND ADENOSINE DEAMINASE ACTIVITY AS A POSSIBLE DIAGNOSTIC AID IN LYMPHATIC LEUKEMIAS [PDF]
It has been demonstrated recently that in addition to morphologic and immunologic methods, enzyme characterisation of lymphoid cells is useful in the study and classification of lympho proliferative disorders. Heme biosynthetic pathway and purine metabolism are reported to be disturbed in such patients, this study was an attempt to estimate two enzymes

Acute intermittent porphyria: A case report [PDF]
Introduction. Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by a decreased level of porphobilinogen deaminase. Subsequent accumulation of by-products in neural elements causes a classic triad of abdominal pain, neurological ...

Persistent Beetroot Colored Urine in a Three-Year-Old Child: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clinically manifest porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is rare in children. Of ~1400 cases diagnosed at Porphyria Center Sweden, only five were children, all with pathogenic UROD variants and HFE homozygous. Diagnosis is often delayed; in our case, beetroot‐red urine prompted suspicion despite the absence of cutaneous symptoms.
