Further characterization of the neuro-endocrine phenotype associated with the PPOX-related variegate porphyria
Variegate porphyria is caused by mutations in the PPOX gene. It usually presents in adolescents and adults as an autosomal dominant condition, with cutaneous features or acute peripheral and/or central nervous system crises. A rarer variant, homozygous variegate porphyria, presents in childhood with cutaneous manifestations as well as and neurophenotypes. (Source: Pediatric Neurology)

Systematically testing human HMBS missense variants to reveal mechanism and pathogenic variation
van Loggerenberg et  al. functionally assay ∼90% of all possible missense variants in HMBS, which is associated with acute intermittent porphyria. The resulting variant effect maps reveal sequence-structure-function relationships and provide evidence to distinguish pathogenic from benign variants.

Update on the Porphyrias
Annu Rev Med. 2023 Aug 4. doi: 10.1146/annurev-med-042921-123602. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe porphyrias are a group of rare diseases, each resulting from a defect in a different enzymatic step of the heme biosynthetic pathway. They can be broadly divided into two categories, hepatic and erythropoietic porphyrias, depending on the primary site of accumulation of heme intermediates. These disorders are multisystemic with variable symptoms that can be encountered by physicians in any specialty. Here, we review the porphyrias and describe their clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. We discuss novel therapies...
