Type I tyrosinemia

Index Type I tyrosinemia

Type 1 tyrosinemia, also known as hepatorenal tyrosinemia or tyrosinosis, is the most severe form of tyrosinemia, a buildup of too much of the amino acid tyrosine in the blood and tissues due to an inability to metabolize it. [1]

Ascites

Ascites is the abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen.

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase

Fumarylacetoacetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FAH gene located on chromosome 15.

Genetic carrier

A hereditary carrier (or just carrier), is a person or other organism that has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation but usually does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease.

Tyrosine

Tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins.

Tyrosinemia

Tyrosinemia or tyrosinaemia is an error of metabolism, usually inborn, in which the body cannot effectively break down the amino acid tyrosine.

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), also known as α-ketoisocaproate dioxygenase (KIC dioxygenase), is an Fe(II)-containing non-heme oxygenase that catalyzes the second reaction in the catabolism of tyrosine - the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate into homogentisate.
