Engineering the gut as an auxiliary tyrosine disposal unit in hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1; MIM: 276700) is a severe autosomal-recessive disorder of tyrosine catabolism caused by deficient fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), the final enzyme in the degradation pathway that is predominantly active in liver and kidney cells. The consequent accumulation of fumarylacetoacetate (FAA), maleylacetoacetate (MAA), succinylacetoacetate, and succinylacetone (SA) causes progressive hepatorenal disease, acute liver failure in infancy, renal tubular dysfunction, and a persistent risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). http://dlvr.it/TTbf5p
