Homotransplantation of the liver in a patient with hepatoma and hereditary tyrosinemia.

Changing concepts: liver replacement for hereditary tyrosinemia and hepatoma.

Type 1 Tyrosinemia with Hypophosphatemic Rickets; a Case Report

Background: Tyrosinemia type 1 is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder, which typically affects liver and kidneys. It is caused by a defect in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase or fumarylacetoacetase (FAH) enzyme, the final enzyme in the tyrosine degradation pathway. The disease typically manifests as early onset type in early infancy with acute hepatic crisis with hepatomegaly and bleeding te...

Resolution of the clinical features of tyrosinemia following orthotopic liver transplantation for hepatoma.

The clinical history before transplantation and subsequent clinical and biochemical course of 3 children and one adult with hereditary tyrosinemia treated by orthotopic hepatic transplantation is described. All four patients are now free of their previous dietary restrictions and appear to be cured of both their metabolic disease and their hepatic neoplasm.

Hereditary tyrosinemia. Formation of succinylacetone-amino acid adducts

Succinylacetone (SA) (4,6-dioxoheptanoic acid) is an abnormal metabolite produced in patients with hereditary tyrosinemia as a consequence of an inherited deficiency of fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase activity. Patients with this disease are associated with a number of abnormalities, including aminoaciduria, proteinuria, liver failure, commonly hepatoma, and decreased GSH concentration in the li...

design and evaluation PCR primer for type 1 tyrosinemia patient from yasuj

Tyrosinemia is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase deficiency. 40 different mutation have been recognized related to Tyrosinemia that could be found in all extend of the gene with higher frequency from exon 8 to 14. Because of the size of FAH gene it's impossible to Sequence whole length of the gene by one round of sequencing reaction. Aim of this ...
