To start you need to choose Porphyria for Patients or Porphyria for Professionals.
Porphyria for Patients
The Patients section contains all the introductory information a lay person needs to understand porphyria. To assist you we have built in a dynamic dictionary feature so that moving the mouse over highlighted technical terms brings up a definition in a small popup window.
Porphyria for Professionals
The Professionals section contains the same information in more technical terms, as well as a lot of additional information about specific areas of porphyria. Lay people will want to browse through these pages to find more detailed information once they have used the For patients pages to gain an understanding of the underlying concepts and the terminology.
