How many of you are feeling the Monday blues like the two us? We are both feeling rather cranky today oh no. But that doesn't stop us from publishing our daily post!
Presenting~ the Symptoms and Complications of Tyrosinemia Type III!
Symptoms
- Intellectual disability
- Seizures
- Periodic loss of balance and coordination (Intermittent ataxia)
- Increased tendon reflexes
- Intellectual disability (in 75% of reported cases)
So short and sweet right? Haha we are so sorry because it was difficult to find substantial information regarding Type III as it is extremely rare. But do take note of the symptoms! They are rather different from those of Type I and Type II!
The blog is quite hard to navigate but detailed nonetheless! :) but what age group do the symptoms of type 3 Tyrosinemia affect?

Hilary and Yolande:
DeleteTyrosinemia (all types) is an inherited genetic disease and hence the symptoms will usually show up within the first year of age. If left untreated, the individuals will usually not survive for long. Hence type 3 tyrosinemia affects the same age group as those with type 1 and 2, which are infants and young children (below the age of 3)
