What is the Cause?

If parents are consanguineous, they are both more likely to carry the same abnormal gene, which increases the risk of consanguineous parents having a child with a hereditary disorder.

Tyrosinemia occurs as a result of a genetic disorder.

The defect in the FAH gene causes a decrease in the activity of one of the enzymes, which plays a crucial role in the breakdown of tyrosine, leading to Hereditary Tyrosinemia Type 1.

Since this disorder is hereditary, the genes that cause this disease come from both the mother and the father.

Heredity:
Parents of an affected individual carry a copy of the defective gene, but often do not show signs and symptoms of the disease. If the child receives one normal gene and one defective gene from their parents, the child becomes a carrier of the disease but does not show disease symptoms.

The rate of having an affected (sick) child is 25% for two carrier parents both of whom pass the defective gene in each pregnancy, and the rate of having a carrier child is 50%.
