" /> Coproporphyria, hereditary - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Coproporphyria, hereditary;

Symbol : HCP;

CISMeF acronym : HCP;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Coproporphyrinogen oxidase deficiency; Cpox deficiency; Cpo deficiency; Cpx deficiency;

Description : Hereditary coproporphyria, an autosomal dominant acute hepatic porphyria, is characterized by acute attacks of neurologic dysfunction often provoked by drugs, fasting, menstrual cycle, or infectious diseases. Skin photosensitivity may also be present. Excretion of large amounts of coproporphyrin III, mostly in feces and urine, is observed. Harderoporphyria is a rare homozygous erythropoietic variant form of HCP, characterized by neonatal hemolytic anemia, sometimes accompanied by skin lesions, and massive excretion of harderoporphyrin in feces. During childhood and adulthood, a mild residual anemia is chronically observed (review by Schmitt et al., 2005).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant; Autosomal recessive (rare);

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene (CPO, 612732.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Increased coproporphinogen III (urine and fecal); Coproporphinogen oxidase deficiency (approximately 50% activity, fibroblasts and lymphocytes); Increased urinary porphobilinogen (PBG, acute attack); Increased urinary 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA, acute attack);

Prefixed ID : #121300;
