DNA polymorphisms within the porphobilinogen deaminase gene in two Swedish families with acute intermittent porphyria
Abstract
Two unrelated families with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), an autosomal dominant disease related to a defect in porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D, EC 4.1.3.8.), were studied with regard to three restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) (MspI, PstI, BstNI) within the PBG-D gene. The results indicate that linkage analysis of RFLPs within the gene can be used as a complement to PBG-D analysis for the diagnosis of gene carriers in families with AIP.
