Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 17, 610 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.129 Author: Eytan Zlotorynski Hereditary tyrosinaemia type I (HT-I) is a lethal liver disease that is caused by mutations in FAH, which encodes fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase, the enzyme that catalyses the final step of tyrosine catabolism. FAH deficiency leads to the accumulation of toxic metabolic intermediates that cause hepatocellular
