Variegate Porphyria[edit | edit source]
Variegate Porphyria is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase. This deficiency leads to the accumulation of certain chemicals in the body, which can cause a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms can include skin lesions, neurological complications, and psychiatric disturbances. The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing the disorder on to their offspring.
