Paul and Erich Lauffs: Tyrosinemia At first glance, Paul and Erich Lauffs, ages 10 and 6, of San Diego, CA, seem like typical boys. They run, play, climb trees, fight with each other, and do all the other things boys do. But they are far from typical. Both children were born with hereditary tyrosinemia, a genetic inborn error of metabolism associated with severe, and frequently fatal, liver disease in infancy. Their mother, Colleen, calls them "miracle children," because their survival is indeed a miracle.
The family's long ordeal began in July, 1986, when Paul was born. He was slightly jaundiced, but this did not concern his mother so much as his general mood.
"Paul was always cranky and irritable," she recalled. "I was a first-time mother and didn't know a lot about babies. But I knew that something must be terribly wrong with this child for him to be so miserable."
In addition to Paul's general crankiness were many disturbing physical symptoms. His stools were occasionally bloody, and tests showed his blood wasn't clotting properly. To make matters worse, he had frequent bouts of projectile vomiting. Paul's parents, Hubert and Colleen, took the baby to numerous specialists in California and around the country. Numerous tests were done, but nobody was able to determine what the problem was.
When Paul was three months old, the family went to Johns Hopkins University Medical Center. "Finally, after two more months of tests and examinations, a consulting pediatrician suggested that it might be tyrosinemia, a rare liver disease that affects large numbers of French Canadians and northern Europeans. It is only diagnosed in Quebec and Holland," Colleen said. "Dr. Dave Valley ordered the tests, and they came back positive. Even though this was not good news, at least we now knew what was wrong with Paul."

Tyrosinemia
Definition
The tyrosinemias are a group of inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism, each caused by an enzymatic defect effecting tyrosine catabolism, which leads to elevated levels of tyrosine. Newborn screening in Illinois includes testing for the following type of tyrosinemia: Tyrosinemia type I (hepatorenal tyrosinemia or fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) deficiency)
Note: Some cases of tyrosinemia may not be detected by newborn screening when specimens are collected in the first few days of life, as tyrosine levels may not be sufficiently elevated for detection by tandem mass spectrometry.
Clinical Symptoms
There is variability in age of onset, depending on the type of tyrosinemia. In some forms of the disease, children may be clinically diagnosed in the neonatal period. Type I, the most severe form of tyrosinemia, results in the accumulation of tyrosine and its metabolites in the liver causing severe liver disease. Kidney function and peripheral nerves also are affected. Patients with Type I may have acute liver crisis, episodes of peripheral neuropathy and chronic liver disease. Affects on the kidneys can range from mild tubular dysfunction to renal failure. Early symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, vomiting, enlarged liver, jaundice, rickets, lethargy and irritability.
Newborn Screening and Definitive Diagnosis
In Illinois, newborn screening for tyrosinemia type I is performed using tandem mass spectrometry. False positive and false negative results may be possible with this screening. Not all cases of tyrosinemia will be detected by newborn screening. Infants with a presumptive positive screening test require prompt follow-up. Not all cases of tyrosinemia will be detected by newborn screening.

Tyrosinemia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Tyrosinemia is an error of metabolism , usually inborn, in which the body can not effectively break down the amino acid tyrosine , found in most animal and plant proteins. Tyrosinemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. There are three types of tyrosinemia, each with distinctive symptoms and caused by the deficiency of a different enzyme.
Contents
edit
Type I tyrosinemia
Type I tyrosinemia is the most severe form of this disorder and is caused by a shortage of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase, encoded by the gene FAH . Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase is the last in a series of five enzymes needed to break down tyrosine. Symptoms of type I tyrosinemia usually appear in the first few months of life and include failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive), diarrhea, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes ( jaundice ), cabbagelike odor, and increased tendency to bleed (particularly

Not all cases of tyrosinemia will be detected by newborn screening. When receiving a presumptive positive result, the clinician should immediately check on the clinical status of the baby and refer the infant to a metabolic disease specialist.

General Discussion Tyrosinemia type I is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterized by lack of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), which is needed to break down the amino acid tyrosine. Failure to properly break down tyrosine leads to abnormal accumulation of tyrosine and its metabolites in the liver, potentially resulting in severe liver disease. Tyrosine may also accumulate in the kidneys and central nervous system. Symptoms and physical findings associated with tyrosinemia type I include failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive), fever, diarrhea, vomiting, an abnormally enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), and yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (jaundice). Tyrosinemia type I may progress to more serious complications such as severe liver disease. Tyrosinemia type one is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

http://depts.washington.edu/tyros/abouttyr.htm
About Tyrosinemia The treatment for tyrosinemia consists of a medication and special diet:

  • The diet of an individual with tyrosinemia consists of a special formula (also called medical food) with very little tyrosine combined with low protein foods.
    For some individuals, liver transplants may be necessary.
Regular monitoring of laboratory values is also part of treatment of tyrosinemia; it helps the health care team prescribe appropriate medication doses and formula composition. Regular monitoring includes:
  • Blood draw every 3 months Regular clinic appointments (this varies between clinics; often, monthly clinic visits for the first 6-12 months of life, and then visits every 3-6 months)
A child with appropriately managed blood tyrosine levels will act and look like other children of the same age. The only difference between children with tyrosinemia and other children is in the foods the child with tyrosinemia can and cannot eat and the medication.
