Protoporphyria, Erythropoietic, X-linked; Xlepp

Description

X-linked erythropoietic protoporphyria (XLEPP) is a metabolic disorder of heme biosynthesis characterized by onset in early childhood of severe photosensitivity associated with decreased iron stores and increased erythrocyte zinc- and metal-free protoporphyrin. Some patients may develop liver disease or gallstones (summary by Ducamp et al., 2013).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of erythropoietic protoporphyria, see EPP1 (OMIM ).
