Abstract
The genetic tyrosinemias, autosomal recessive disorders, are characterized by the accumulation of tyrosine in body fluids and tissues. There are three types of tyrosinemias: Types I, II, and III. Type I has a prevalence of about 1 in 100,000 newborns in the general population. Type III is extremely rare (Fig. 1).
