Hereditary Coproporphyria

One interesting thing I found about Porphyria is, the disease is caused by a lack of enzymes, which are needed to complete the process of which creates heme. Porphyrins are created during several steps of this process, and the lack of enzymes causes abnormal amounts of Prophyrins to be made. The only question I have so far is, Is this disease curable?
