Estimating carrier rates and prevalence of porphyria-associated gene variants in the Chinese population based on genetic databases

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Porphyria is a group of rare metabolic disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding crucial enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway. However, the lack of comprehensive genetic analysis of porphyria patients in the Chinese population makes ...

5‐Aminolevulinic Acid–Based Photodynamic Therapy (ALA‐PDT) for Bowen’s Disease in Chinese Patients: A Multicenter Prospective Study

open access: yesDermatologic Therapy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background In China, the common treatment for Bowen’s disease (BD) is surgical excision. Although 5‐aminolevulinic acid–based photodynamic therapy (ALA‐PDT) has proven effective for BD in Caucasian patients, there is limited research on its effectiveness in Asian patients.

Clinically Important Features of Porphyrin and Heme Metabolism and the Porphyrias

open access: yesMetabolites, 2014
Heme, like chlorophyll, is a primordial molecule and is one of the fundamental pigments of life. Disorders of normal heme synthesis may cause human diseases, including certain anemias (X-linked sideroblastic anemias) and porphyrias.

The Porphyrias

open access: yesDermatologic 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.

Targeting the Nrf2-Heme Oxygenase-1 Axis after Intracerebral Hemorrhage. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Injury to cells adjacent to an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is likely mediated at least in part by toxins released from the hematoma that initiate complex and interacting injury cascades.
