The purpose of this long-term follow-up study is to collect a large group of patients with the different types of porphyria and to provide a better understanding of the natural history of these disorders. The hope is that this information will help in developing new forms of treatment.
This study proposes to identify the predisposing/protective modifying genes that underlie the acute attacks in symptomatic patients with Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP), an autosomal dominant inborn error of heme biosynthesis.
