Dental Phenotype with Minor Ectodermal Symptoms Suggestive of Deficiency.

Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) represent a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by the abnormal development of ectodermal-derived tissues. They include the involvement of the hair, nails, skin, sweat glands, and teeth. Pathogenic variants in (Xq12-13.

High penetrance of acute intermittent porphyria in a Spanish founder mutation population and CYP2D6 genotype as a susceptibility factor.

Background: Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a low-penetrant genetic metabolic disease caused by a deficiency of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) in the haem biosynthesis. Manifest AIP (MAIP) is considered when carriers develop typical acute neurovisceral attacks with elevation of porphyrin precursors, while the absence of attacks is referred to as latent AIP (LAIP). Attacks are often triggered by drugs, endocrine factors, fasting or stress.
