Disease_model_descriptionType 1 Tyrosinemia (HT1) is a rare genetic disorder stemming from mutations in the tyrosine catabolism enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH); pathophysiological manifestations of HT1 include failure to thrive, liver and renal failure and a predisposition for developing hepatocellular carcinoma. In C. elegans, animals mutant for fah-1, the nematode ortholog of FAH, show severe phenotypes of decreased body size, intestinal damage, reduced fertility, premature death, and activation of ER and oxidative stress pathways.
