Is Porphyria hereditary?
Here you can see if Porphyria can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Porphyria or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Yes and can be brought on by environmental factors

Yes. According to the American Porphyria Foundation "The porphyrias are a group of inherited disorders caused by deficiencies of enzymes needed in particular steps in the synthesis of the heme molecule. "

YES, 50% HEREDITARY, IF ONE OF THE PARENTS HAS THE GENE MUTATION HE HAS TO DO A GENETIC TEST TO VERIFY HIS OWN KIDS

Most types of Porphyria are inherited, usually from one or both of a persons parents.
This is due to a mutation in one of the genes that produce heme. They may be inherited in an autosomal dominant , autosomal recessive, or X-linked dominant manner.
I have Variegate Porphyria which is inherited, I have the R59W South African mutation, inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and inheriting one copy of the defective gene from an affected parent is sufficient to cause the disorder.
