Variegate porphyria is a form of acute hepatic porphyria characterized by the occurrence of neuro-visceral attacks with or without the presence of cutaneous lesions.
Prevalence is around 1/100,000 in European countries and much higher in South Africa due to a founding effect.
Transmission of hereditary porphyrias is autosomal and either dominant with weak penetrance or recessive with complete penetrance.
