Abstract excerpt
Hereditary tyrosinaemia type I (HT 1) (McKusick 276700) is caused by a deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) activity, the last enzyme in the tyrosine catabolic pathway. Homozygous disruption of the gene encoding FAH in mice (Fah) causes neonatal lethality (i.e. lethal Albino deletion c14CoS mice), which limits the use of this animal as a model for HT I. We developed a new mouse model that carries two...
