Mortality in Pedigrees with Acute Intermittent Porphyria

Life, 2022
High mortality rates have been reported in historical cohorts of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) patients. The mortality associated with (hydroxymethylbilane synthase) HMBS variant heterozygosity is unknown. This study estimates all-cause mortality in

The Porphyrias

Dermatologic Clinics, 1987
The porphyrias are a group of disorders of heme metabolism that result from partial defects in the several enzymes that control heme biosynthesis. Accumulation of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors in several different patterns results from these defects and biochemically characterizes each specific syndrome.

Feasibility of cellular bioenergetics as a biomarker in porphyria patients

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
Porphyria is a group of metabolic disorders due to altered enzyme activities within the heme biosynthetic pathway. It is a systemic disease with multiple potential contributions to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Acute Intermittent Porphyria in a Man with Dual Enzyme Deficiencies

Case Reports in Genetics, 2020
Porphyrias are a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that result from the altered activity of specific enzymes of the heme biosynthetic pathway and are characterized by accumulation of pathway intermediates.

Acute Hepatic Porphyria Should Be Included in the Diagnostic Work-Up of Patients with Resistant Hypertension or Suspected Secondary Hypertension

Medical Sciences
Secondary hypertension and resistant hypertension may result from potentially treatable acquired or hereditary diseases. Inherited Metabolic Disorders are not routinely included in the differential diagnosis of these contexts associated with hypertension,

Effects of iron chelation therapy on the clinical course of aceruloplasminemia: an analysis of aggregated case reports

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background Aceruloplasminemia is a rare genetic iron overload disorder, characterized by progressive neurological manifestations. The effects of iron chelation on neurological outcomes have only been described in case studies, and are inconsistent ...

Differential Effects of Dupilumab in a Patient With Localized Heat Urticaria, Delayed Solar Urticaria, and Symptomatic Dermographism

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Physical urticaria is a subtype of chronic inducible urticaria characterized by wheals and/or angioedema triggered by physical stimuli. We report a refractory case of combined localized heat urticaria, delayed solar urticaria, and symptomatic dermographism in a 16‐year‐old girl.
