Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) is a disorder of heme biosynthesis classified as an acute hepatic porphyria. HCP is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme coproporphyrinogen oxidase coded for by the CPOX gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion although homozygous individuals have been identified.
