Forensic scientists are able to use ink chromatography to solve crimes by matching documents or stains found at a crime scene to the marker or pen that belongs to a suspect. Forensic scientists analyze the unknown ink and compare it to writing utensils collected from possible suspects.
Symptoms of Variegate Porphyria The hepatic porphyrias primarily affect the nervous system, resulting in abdominal pain, vomiting, acute neuropathy, seizures, and mental disturbances, including hallucinations, depression, anxiety, and paranoia.
Other forms of porphyria are very rare. Variegate porphyria or VP, (more common in white people of South African ancestry) and hereditary coproporphyria or HCP can both cause neurological symptoms like AIP and skin symptoms like PCT.cute intermittent porphyria. The next most common form of porphyria is acute intermittent porphyria or AIP. AIP causes only neurological symptoms and does not affect the skin. AIP is inherited but may appear to skip generations as many people who inherit the disease never get any symptoms.
