The genetical types were classified according to the clinical findings and biochemical results in cases of 13 newborn/children suffering from various aminoacidopathies. The genetical types were: 3 neonatal and 4 infantile types were found out of 7 non-ketotic disease (MSUD) patient was infantile type with 9.1 per cent keto acid decarboxylase activity in leukocyte homogenate. Among the 3 histidinemic patients 1 was severe neonatal type and 2 cases were chronic types. The 2 treated tyrosinemic children proved to be type III. (chronic with rickets).

Radiation induced chromosomal deletions at the albino locus in the mouse, lethal when homozygous, cause abnormalities of expression of several unlinked liver specific genes. Recently, the gene encoding FAH was shown to be included in the deletions. Since in humans FAH mutations cause tyrosinemia type I, deletion homozygous mice were suspected of having tyrosinemia. Studies of plasma amino acids did not confirm this suspicion. Also, succinylacetone levels were normal in fetal and newborn livers of deletion homozygotes. The present evidence, therefore, does not support the assumption that the earlier described ultrastructural and enzyme abnormalities in deletion homozygotes are secondary effects of tyrosinemia caused by the deletion of FAH.
