" /> Tyrosinemia, type I - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Tyrosinemia, type I;

Symbol : TYRSN1;

CISMeF acronym : TYRSN1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Fumarylacetoacetase deficiency; Fah deficiency; Hepatorenal tyrosinemia;

Description : Hereditary tyrosinemia type I is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of fumarylacetoacetase (FAH), the last enzyme of tyrosine degradation. The disorder is characterized by progressive liver disease and a secondary renal tubular dysfunction leading to hypophosphatemic rickets. Onset varies from infancy to adolescence. In the most acute form patients present with severe liver failure within weeks after birth, whereas rickets may be the major symptom in chronic tyrosinemia. Untreated, patients die from cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma at a young age (summary by Bliksrud et al., 2005).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the fumarylacetoacetase gene (FAH, 613871.0001);

Neoplasia : Hepatocellular carcinoma;

Laboratory abnormalities : Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) deficiency; Deficient hepatic 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase; Tyrosinemia; Methioninemia; Elevated plasma and urine succinylacetone; Elevated hepatic transaminases; Elevated alpha-fetoprotein; Hypophosphatemia; Hypoglycemia; Elevated urinary delta-aminolevulinic acid;

Prefixed ID : #276700;
