Conditions with this feature

Tyrosinemia type II
MedGen UID:
75687
Concept ID:
C0268487
Disease or Syndrome
Tyrosinemia type II (TYRSN2) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by keratitis, painful palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, mental retardation, and elevated serum tyrosine levels. The disorder is caused by deficiency of hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase (Natt et al., 1992).
Tyrosinemia type III
MedGen UID:
78694
Concept ID:
C0268623
Disease or Syndrome
Tyrosinemia type III (TYRSN3), an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in the activity of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD), is characterized by elevated levels of blood tyrosine and massive excretion of its derivatives into urine. Patients with this disorder have mildly impaired intellectual development and/or convulsions, with the absence of liver damage (summary by Tomoeda et al., 2000).
Hawkinsinuria
MedGen UID:
419319
Concept ID:
C2931042
Disease or Syndrome
Hawkinsinuria (HWKS) is an autosomal dominant inborn error of metabolism. Metabolic acidosis and tyrosinemia are transient, and symptoms improve within the first year of life. Patients continue to excrete the hawkinsin metabolite in their urine throughout life (Danks et al., 1975; Tomoeda et al., 2000).
Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 15 (hepatocerebral type)
