Harderoporphyria (HARPO) is a rare erythropoietic variant form of hereditary coproporphyria [DS:H00202], characterized by neonatal hemolytic anemia, sometimes accompanied by skin lesions and the accumulation of harderoporphyrin in feces. It has been reported that mutations in CPOX cause harderoporphyria. CPOX encodes the mitochondrial enzyme coproporphyrinogen oxidase. CPOX catalyzes the stepwise oxidative decarboxylation of the heme precursor, coproporphyrinogen III, to protoporphyrinogen IX via a tricarboxylic intermediate, harderoporphyrinogen.
