Abstract excerpt
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency of the last enzyme in the catabolic pathway of tyrosine, fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). To analyze the mutations involved in this disease, and as a first step towards elucidating the mechanisms regulating the transcription of the FAH gene, we have isolated and characterized the human gene coding for FAH. The gene contains...
