Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a defect in tyrosine (tyr) degradation. This defect results in the accumulation of succinylacetone (SA), causing liver failure with a high risk of hepatocarcinoma and kidney injury, leading in turn to Fanconi syndrome with urine loss of phosphate and secondary hypophosphatemic rickets (HR). HT-1 diagnosis is usually made in infants with acute or chronic liver failure or by neonatal screening programs.

Coexistence of phenylketonuria and tyrosinemia type 3: challenges in the dietary management.

J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab

January 2025

Department of Rare Diseases, Institute of Graduate Studies in Health Sciences, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Objectives: Phenylketonuria (PKU) and tyrosinemia type 3 (HT3) are both rare autosomal recessive disorders of phenylalanine-tyrosine metabolism. PKU is caused by a deficiency in phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), leading to elevated phenylalanine (Phe) and reduced tyrosine (Tyr) levels. HT3, the rarest form of tyrosinemia, is due to a deficiency in 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD).

Evaluation of Neonatal Screening Programs for Tyrosinemia Type 1 Worldwide.

Int J Neonatal Screen

December 2024

Laboratory of Metabolic Diseases, Department of Laboratory Medicine, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, P.O. Box 30 001, 9700 RB Groningen, The Netherlands.

In The Netherlands, newborn screening (NBS) for tyrosinemia type 1 (TT1) uses dried blood spot (DBS) succinylacetone (SUAC) as a biomarker. However, high false-positive (FP) rates and a false-negative (FN) case show that the Dutch TT1 NBS protocol is suboptimal. In search of optimization options, we evaluated the protocols used by other NBS programs and their performance.

Hepatorenal tyrosinaemia (HT1) is an autosomal recessive disorder of tyrosine degradation resulting in hepatic and renal dysfunction, neurological sequelae may occur in some patients. The use of nitisinone (NTBC) has revolutionised treatment and outcome of this disorder. NTBC has to be combined with a low protein diet.
