A novel mutation, IVS2-2AgG, associated with acute intermittent porphyria in a Chinese family.
Porphyria is a group of disorders caused by the accumulation of porphyrin and porphyrin precursors due to the abnormalities in certain enzymes that normally participate in the production of haem. We report a case of a woman with severe menstruation-related abdominal pain, hyponatraemia, and psychiatric symptoms. Excessive porphobilinogen was found in her urine. A new mutation in intron 2 (IVS2-...
متن کاملVariant acute intermittent porphyria in a child.
A child who was grossly malnourished and who showed increased excretion of porphyrin and porphyrin precursor had normal activity of erythrocyte porphobilinogen deaminase (EC 4.3.1.8) and leukocyte protoporphyrinogen oxidase (EC 1.3.3.4). Clinical symptoms, coincident with the excretion of rose-colored urine, were consistent with the diagnosis of an acute porphyria. The disease resolved spontane...
متن کاملA family with acute intermittent porphyria.
Porphyrias are inherited defects in heme metabolism that result in excessive secretion of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors. Porphyrias can be classified into acute, (neuropsychiatric), cutaneous and mixed forms. There are seven main types of porphyrias; acute intermittent porphyria and plumboporphyria are predominantly neuropsychiatric; congenital erythropoietic porphyria, porphyria cutanea ...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Mutation in CNNM4 Gene in an Iranian Family with Jalili Syndrome
Background and Objectives: Jalili syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which so far, only 33 families with this disorder have been reported worldwide. Patients with this disease simultaneously develop cone-rod retinal dystrophy (CRD) and amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In this study, a mutation causing Jalili syndrome, was investigated in an Iranian family. Case Report: The...
