Partial protoporphyrinogen oxidase (<it>PPOX</it>) gene deletions, due to different <it>Alu</it>-mediated mechanisms, identified by MLPA analysis in patients with variegate porphyria

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Variegate porphyria (VP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited hepatic porphyria. The genetic defect in the <it>PPOX</it> gene leads to a partial defect of protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the penultimate enzyme of heme biosynthesis. Affected individuals ca...
