Self-induced correction of the genetic defect in tyrosinemia type I.

Abstract

A mosaic pattern of immunoreactive fumarylacetoacetase (FAH) protein was found in liver tissue in 15 of 18 tyrosinemia type I patients of various ethnic origins. One additional patient had variable levels of FAH enzyme activity in liver tissue. In four patients exhibiting mosaicism of FAH protein, analysis for the tyrosinemia-causing mutations was performed in immunonegative and immunopositive areas of liver tissue by restriction digestion analysis and direct DNA sequencing. In all four patients the immunonegative liver tissue contained the FAH mutations demonstrated in fibroblasts of the patients. In the immunopositive nodules of regenerating liver tissue one of the mutated alleles apparently had reverted to the normal genotype. This genetic correction was observed for three different tyrosinemia-causing mutations. In each case a mutant AT nucleotide pair was reverted to a normal GC pair.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
