N.O.T.A.Tyrosinemia

What Genes are Related to Tyrosinemia?

The FAHgene provides instructions for the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase enzyme, which is responsible for the final step of tyrosine breakdown. The enzyme produced from the TAT gene, called tyrosine aminotransferase enzyme, is involved at the first step in the process.

The HPD gene provides instructions for making the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase enzyme, which is responsible for the second step.

Mutations in the FAH, TAT, or HPD gene cause a decrease in the activity of one of the enzymes in the breakdown of tyrosine.

N.O.T.A.CARES

WE ARE WEAK AS ONE, BUT TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG.

This organization has been created to bring together the Tyro community. What started as a simple Facebook group has now turned into a worldwide community of families and friends who are or know someone who is affected by Tyrosinemia. Our goals are simple and aim to help spread information about Tyrosinemia and build a stronger community.

N.O.T.A.CARES

There Are Three Types Of Tyrosinemia.

Each has distinctive symptoms and is caused by the deficiency of a different enzyme.

Medications Treatment

Nutritional treatment should be designed to minimize the phenylalanine-tyrosine load to only essential requirements.

Dietary Management

Because every child has a different “tolerance” of tyrosine and phenylalanine, dietary management is individualized.

Supplements Treatment

Phenylalanine needs to be restricted along with tyrosine. Phenylalanine is converted into tyrosine in the body.
