Abstract excerpt
In healthy individuals, fumarylacetoacetase (FAH) activities close to the range found in hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) patients indicated the existence of a "pseudodeficiency" allele. In an individual homozygous for pseudodeficiency of FAH and in three HT1 families also carrying the pseudodeficiency allele, western blotting of fibroblast extracts showed that the pseudodeficiency allele gave very little...
