Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity was measured in hemoglobin-free lysates from two patients with hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP) and from 12 unrelated patients with familial porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). In HEP patients, enzyme activities were 5% of normal, and familial studies clearly confirmed that patients with HEP are cases of homozygous PCT. Immunoreactive uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase was measured by developing a direct and noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA). For the 12 familial PCT patients, we found an immunoreactive protein decreased (51%) to the same extent as the catalytic activity (48%) [cross-reactive immunological material ( CRIM ) negative]. The children from the HEP family were also CRIM negative, contrasting with another HEP family previously described as CRIM positive; our data support the hypothesis of a heterogeneity in familial uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase deficiency.
在两名肝红细胞生成性卟啉病(HEP)患者以及12名无关的迟发性皮肤卟啉病(PCT)家族性患者的无血红蛋白裂解物中测量了尿卟啉原脱羧酶活性。在HEP患者中,酶活性为正常水平的5%,家族研究明确证实HEP患者为纯合子PCT病例。通过开发一种直接非竞争性酶免疫测定法(EIA)来测量免疫反应性尿卟啉原脱羧酶。对于12名家族性PCT患者,我们发现免疫反应性蛋白减少了51%,与催化活性降低48%的程度相同[交叉反应性免疫物质(CRIM)阴性]。HEP家族的儿童也为CRIM阴性,这与之前描述为CRIM阳性的另一个HEP家族形成对比;我们的数据支持家族性尿卟啉原脱羧酶缺乏存在异质性的假说。
