The porphyrias are metabolic disorders, usually inherited, of normal porphyrin and heme metabolism. Although deficiency in activity of one of the enzymes of the heme biosynthetic pathway is the underlying cause of each of the porphyrias, the fact that many persons with such déficiences are totally asymptomatic ('carriers’ or ‘latent’porphy ries) emphasizes the complexities of the met abolic factors that give rise to clinically man ifest porphyrias. Nevertheless, elucidation of the heme synthetic pathway provided the basis for exploring the chemical reasons for the abnormal accumulation of metabolic in termediates in patients with porphyrias. De lineation of the sequence of enzymes and metabolites in the heme synthetic pathway, together with the patterns of metabolite ex
