Indicators
This gene is involved in DNA replication and proofreading.
Indicators
This gene is involved in both DNA replication and DNA base-excision repair.
Tests
The determination of the polychromatic erythrocytes in a sample.
Tests
Porphyrin tests measure the level of porphyrins in your blood, urine (pee), or stool (poop). Your body uses porphyrins to make heme. Heme is part of hemoglobin, which is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
