Assignment of human uroporphyrinogen I synthase locus to region 11qter by gene dosage effect. 1982

H de Verneuil, and N Phung, and Y Nordmann, and D Allard, and F Leprince, and H Jérome, and A Aurias, and M O Rethoré

Recently Meisler et al. (1980) reported the results of mouse/human somatic cell hybrid studies which indicated that the locus for human uroporphyrinogen I synthase (UPS) (EC 4.3.1.8) maps to chromosome 11. To evaluate further this assignment we have children with a trisomy of the region 11qter. We confirm the results of Meisler et al. (1980) and demonstrate that uroporphyrinogen I synthase activity is increased by a factor of 1.5 in trisomy 11qter. In erythrocytes of one child with a trisomy 11p, the expression of this enzyme was normal.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D011163 Hydroxymethylbilane Synthase An enzyme that catalyzes the tetrapolymerization of the monopyrrole PORPHOBILINOGEN into the hydroxymethylbilane preuroporphyrinogen (UROPORPHYRINOGENS) in several discrete steps. It is the third enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. In humans, deficiency in this enzyme encoded by HMBS (or PBGD) gene results in a form of neurological porphyria (PORPHYRIA, ACUTE INTERMITTENT). This enzyme was formerly listed as EC 4.3.1.8 Porphobilinogen Ammonia-Lyase,Porphobilinogen Deaminase,Uroporphyrinogen I Synthase,Hydroxymethylbilane Synthetase,Pre-uroporphyrinogen Synthetase,Preuroporphyrinogen Synthetase,Ammonia-Lyase, Porphobilinogen,Deaminase, Porphobilinogen,Porphobilinogen Ammonia Lyase,Pre uroporphyrinogen Synthetase,Synthase, Hydroxymethylbilane,Synthase, Uroporphyrinogen I,Synthetase, Hydroxymethylbilane,Synthetase, Pre-uroporphyrinogen,Synthetase, Preuroporphyrinogen
