Little is known on the correlation between genetic profile and clinical manifestations. The standard of care for Erythropoietic protoporphyria is based on avoiding sun and using sun protections, but recent literature has suggested that cimetidine may have a role in improving sun sensitivity.

Cisplatin is widely used for the treatment of various types of cancer. However, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) is frequently observed in patients receiving cisplatin therapy which poses a challenge in its clinical utility. Currently used clinical biomarkers for CIN are not adequate for early detection of nephrotoxicity, hence there is a need to identify potential early biomarkers in predicting CIN.
