Diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria with severe liver injury: A case report

BACKGROUND: gene. EPP combined with liver injury is even rarer. CASE SUMMARY: This paper reports a case of EPP which was admitted to the hospital with abnormal liver function and diagnosed by repeated questioning of medical history, screening of common causes of severe liver injury, and second generation sequencing of the whole exon genome. We also summarize the clinical characteristics of EPP with liver injury, and put forward some suggestions on EPP to provide a reference for the diagnosis of such rare disease. CONCLUSION: gene in the pedigree of this case.
