Tyrosinemia
Type II tyrosinemia
Type II tyrosinemia is less common. Affected children sometimes have Intellectual Disability and frequently develop sores on the skin and eyes. Diagnosis of type II tyrosinemia is with a blood test. Other tests of the blood and urine and a biopsy of the liver may be done. Treatment of type II tyrosinemia is by restricting tyrosine and phenylalanine in the diet.
