See some of the causes of Porphyria according to people who have experience in Porphyria
Porphyria is caused by a defective gene in the making of heme. When this gene is triggered, your body reacts to the toxins (pbg, porphyrins) that are sent through the blood.

I believe it is a genetic disease that is hereditary. If one of your parents has the disease, you have a 50% change of inheriting the disease

The porphyrias are a group of disorders that result from a buildup of natural chemicals that produce porphyrin in your body. Porphyrins are essential for the function of hemoglobin, a protein in your red blood cells that links to porphyrin, binds iron, and carries oxygen to your organs and tissues. High levels of porphyrins can cause significant problems.
There are two general categories of porphyria: acute, which mainly affects the nervous system, and cutaneous, which mainly affects the skin. Some types of porphyria have both nervous system symptoms and skin symptoms.
Signs and symptoms of porphyria vary, depending on the specific type and severity. Porphyria is usually inherited — one or both parents pass along an abnormal gene to their child.
