Comparison of the Tyrosine Aminotransferase cDNA and Genomic DNA Sequences of Normal Mink and Mink Affected with Tyrosinemia Type II

Research shows that unlike in humans, Type II tyrosinemia is not associated with tyrosine aminotransferase gene mutations in mink. It is posited that Type II tyrosinemia in mink may be caused by an unlinked gene regulatory mutation.
