The compound heterozygous mutations of c.607G>a and c.657delC in the FAH gene are associated with renal damage with hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1)

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2023
Background Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a rare inherited metabolic disease characterized by severe liver and renal dysfunction. Early identification in affected children is critical for improved treatment options and prognosis.

In vivo lentiviral vector gene therapy to cure hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 and prevent development of precancerous and cancerous lesions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). Here, the authors show in an animal model that HT1 can be treated via in vivo portal vein administration of a lentiviral ...

Tyrosinemia type I: an unusual case presentation

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Clinical Genetics, 2022
Background: Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by the fumerylacetoacetate hydrolase enzyme deficiency. It is characterized by liver dysfunction and/ or failure, renal tubular dysfunction.

Targeting the Apoa1 locus for liver-directed gene therapy

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Clinical application of somatic genome editing requires therapeutics that are generalizable to a broad range of patients. Targeted insertion of promoterless transgenes can ensure that edits are permanent and broadly applicable while minimizing risks of ...

mRNA-based therapy proves superior to the standard of care for treating hereditary tyrosinemia 1 in a mouse model

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2022
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 is an inborn error of amino acid metabolism characterized by deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). Only limited treatment options (e.g., oral nitisinone) are available.

Mechanistic Inferences from the Crystal Structure of Fumarylacetoacetate Hydrolase with a Bound Phosphorus-based Inhibitor [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in fumarylacetoacetate to yield fumarate and acetoacetate as the final step of Phe and Tyr degradation. This unusual reaction is an essential human metabolic function, with loss of FAH activity causing the fatal metabolic disease hereditary tyrosinemia type I (

Tyrosinemia in a toddler, a case report

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2022
Introduction and Objectives: This study aimed to present the case of a toddler with acute-on chronic liver failure probably related to tyrosinemia. Case Summary: a two-year four-month-old male infant presented with gastroenteritis, which three days later
