PROTOPORPHYRIA, ERYTHROPOIETIC, X-LINKED; XLEPP

Alternate names

PROTOPORPHYRIA, ERYTHROPOIETIC, X-LINKED; XLEPP Is also known as protoporphyria, erythropoietic, x-linked dominant, xldpp, erythrohepatic protoporphyria, x-linked

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 ).

Most common symptoms of PROTOPORPHYRIA, ERYTHROPOIETIC, X-LINKED; XLEPP

  • Anemia
  • Elevated hepatic transaminase
  • Abnormality of the liver
  • Cutaneous photosensitivity
  • Cholelithiasis

X-LINKED SIDEROBLASTIC ANEMIA

Alternate names

X-LINKED SIDEROBLASTIC ANEMIA Is also known as anemia, hereditary sideroblastic, xlsa, anemia, hypochromic, anemia, sideroblastic, x-linked, anh1, hereditary iron-loading anemia

Description

X-linked sideroblastic anemia is a constitutional microcytic, hypochromic anemia of varying severity that is clinically characterized by manifestations of anemia and iron overload and that may respond to treatment with pyridoxine and folic acid.

Most common symptoms of X-LINKED SIDEROBLASTIC ANEMIA

  • Ataxia
  • Muscle weakness
  • Anemia
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Fatigue
