Newborn screening for hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1 introduced in England

Hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1 (HT1) is a very rare genetic condition affecting about seven babies per year in the UK. It prevents the body from breaking down a substance called tyrosine found in food. This leads to the build-up of toxic levels of substances in the blood that can damage the liver, kidneys, and nervous system.

UK National Screening Committee carried out the review in 2022 and recommended screening for HT1.
