Abstract excerpt
Mice homozygous for the c14CoS albino deletion die as neonates as a result of liver dysfunction. Previous mapping studies have associated this defect with a 310-kb fragment encoding the hepatocyte-specific developmental regulation locus (alf/hsdr-1). The gene encoding fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (Fah), a metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the last step of tyrosine catabolism, also maps to the same deletion...
