NCIt synonyms : Uroporphyrinogen III Decarboxylase Gene; Uroporphyrinogen III Synthase wt Allele; UROIIIS; Hydroxymethylbilane Hydrolyase Gene; Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria Gene;
NCIt definition : Human UROS wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10q26.2 and is approximately
38 kb in length. This allele, which encodes uroporphyrinogen-III synthase protein,
is involved in the synthesis of the porphyrin precursor uroporphyrinogen III. Mutations
in the gene are associated with congenital erythropoietic porphyria.;
