Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is attributable to defects in the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) gene. Two new mutations have been found in the PBGD gene in Swedish families. The first is a G to A splice mutation in the last position of intron 9. A screening method using allele-specific amplification has been designed for the rapid detection of this mutation. The second mutation is a C to T substitution in exon 10, changing Arg201 to Trp. This mutation can be detected by restriction enzyme cleavage.
