Fumarylacetoacetate Hydrolase Knock-out Rabbit Model for Hereditary Tyrosinemia Type 1*
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a severe human autosomal recessive disorder caused by the deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydroxylase (FAH), an enzyme catalyzing the last step in the tyrosine degradation pathway. Lack of FAH causes accumulation of toxic metabolites (fumarylacetoacetate and succinylacetone) in blood and tissues, ultimately resulting in severe liver and kidney damage wit...
متن کاملPoint mutations in the murine fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase gene: Animal models for the human genetic disorder hereditary tyrosinemia type 1.
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a severe autosomal recessive metabolic disease associated with point mutations in the human fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) gene that disrupt tyrosine catabolism. An acute form of HT1 results in death during the first months of life because of hepatic failure, whereas a chronic form leads to gradual development of liver disease often accompanied by ren...
متن کاملStructural and functional analysis of missense mutations in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase, the gene deficient in hereditary tyrosinemia type 1.
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme involved in the last step of tyrosine degradation, fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). Thus far, 34 mutations in the FAH gene have been reported in various HT1 patients. Site-directed mutagenesis of the FAH cDNA was used to investigate the effects of eight missense mutations found in HTI ...
متن کاملGoldenhar syndrome and hereditary tyrosinemia type 1.
We report a case of Goldenhar syndrome and hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HTT1), to our knowledge an association not previously described. This case further increases the diversity of observations and clinical descriptions of patients with this complex syndrome. We discuss pathogenetic aspects, and demonstrate further evidence of the effectiveness of 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl benzoyl)-1,3-cy...
متن کاملHepatocyte injury in tyrosinemia type 1 is induced by fumarylacetoacetate and is inhibited by caspase inhibitors.
Tyrosinemia type 1, caused by mutations in the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase gene (Fah), is characterized by severe liver injury. We earlier developed a tyrosinemic mouse model with two genetic defects, Fah and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (Hpd) deficiencies. Apoptosis of hepatocytes was induced and an acute onset of liver failure occurred after administration of homogentisic acid (HGA),...
