Ferrochelatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the terminal step in the heme biosynthetic pathway, is the site of the defect in the human inherited disease erythropoietic protoporphyria. Molecular genetic studies have shown that the majority of erythropoietic

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.

Liver involvement in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria [PDF]
Background: In erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), which presents with severe painful phototoxicity, progressive deposition of protoporphyrins in hepatocytes and bile canaliculi may result in liver disease.

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.

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
