Topic: Hereditary coproporphyria


  
 Hereditary Coproporphyria
Hereditary coproporphyria shows itself in 2 ways, as "acute attacks" (see below) and as skin problems.
In hereditary coproporphyria the commonest situation is for neither skin problems nor acute attacks to occur, but either or both can occur in any one patient.
The name hereditary coproporphyria is used simply because it describes a laboratory finding in an inherited condition.

 eMedicine - Porphyria, Hereditary Coproporphyria : Article by Thomas G DeLoughery, MD
Coproporphyria manifests with abdominal pain, neuropathies, constipation, and skin changes.
Pain of short duration (minutes) or chronic abdominal pain does not develop in coproporphyria.
The etiology of the skin disease may be the deposition of formed porphyrins in the skin that react with sunlight and lead to skin damage.

Patients with variegate porphyria and hereditary coproporphyria patients may, in addition, experience cutaneous photosensitivity associated with the overproduction of porphyrins.
Patients with variegate porphyria or hereditary coproporphyria may, in addition, develop photosensitive skin lesions.
There is no specific treatment for the skin photosensitivity occurring in variegate porphyrin and hereditary coproporphyria, although &bgr;-carotene treatment has been suggested as useful.

 Porphyria, Hereditary Coproporphyria
Excess protoporphyrin is excreted by the liver into the bile, which in turn enters the intestine and is excreted in the feces.
Some patients develop skin photosensitivity, and must avoid sunlight.
The large amount of coproporphyrin present in Hereditary Coproporphyria (HCP) makes the patient sensitive to sunlight, but skin disease is rarely severe in this type or porphyria.

 Porphyria information
If you have variegate porphyria or hereditary coproporphyria, your skin may also be affected.
In variegate porphyria, the skin changes and attacks of acute porphyria may not occur together at the same time.

 Hereditary coproporphyria - Genetics Home Reference
In about 30 percent of people with hereditary coproporphyria, the skin is overly sensitive to sunlight.
Hereditary coproporphyria is a rare type of porphyria that can have acute (severe but usually not long-lasting) symptoms along with symptoms that affect the skin.
The signs and symptoms of hereditary coproporphyria are similar to those of acute intermittent porphyria, but attacks of acute symptoms tend to be less severe.

In patients with photosensitive skin changes alone, it is important to distinguish Varigate Porphyria or hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) from porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), because treatment by phlebotomy or low-dose chloroquine is not successful in VP and HCP.
In hereditary coproporphyria, skin photosensitivity may also be a symptom.

 Porphyria
The recoveries of porphyrins added to plasma were 71-114% except for protoporphyrin, which could not be reliably measured with this technique.
We studied 245 healthy subjects, 32 patients with classical porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), 12 patients with PCT of renal failure, 13 patients with renal failure, 8 patients with pseudoporphyria of renal failure, 3 patients with acute intermittent porphyria, 5 patients with variegate porphyria, 5 patients with hereditary coproporphyria, and 4 patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria.
The dermatologist may play a key role in the early diagnosis of subclinical hereditary hemochromatosis in patients who present with porphyria cutanea tarda.

 Porphyria / Hereditary Coproporphyria
HCP is characterized primarily by neurovisceral symptoms as seen in acute intermittent porphyria (AIP); however, approximately 30% have photosensitivity similar to that seen in porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT).
— Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) tends to be latent before puberty, with symptoms being more common in adult women than adult men.
Increased production of porphobilinogen (PBG) and delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) are associated with neurovisceral complaints, while increased production of porphyrins cause photosensitization.

At least 34 mutations that cause hereditary coproporphyria and the more severe form of the disorder, harderoporphyria, have been identified in the CPOX gene.
One mutation, a substitution of the amino acid glutamic acid for lysine at position 404 (also written as Lys404Glu or K404E), has been found in all families with harderoporphyria.
