Abstract

Variegate porphyria, one of the acute hepatic porphyrias, is characterized by a partial reduction in protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the seventh enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. For a long time, this disease has caused confusion among the porphyrias because it presents with clinical symptoms and biochemical findings that can be similar to those found in other types of porphyrias. Here, we provide an overview of historical, clinical, biochemical, genetical, and other aspects of variegate porphyria that might be helpful in providing more insight into this rare disorder.
