Tyrosinemia - (pronounced) (TY-roh-sih-NEE-mee-uh) rare, inherited condition characterized by high blood levels of a protein building block called tyrosine. This can lead to a harmful buildup of tyrosine and other substances in the body's tissues and organs, particularly in the liver, kidneys, and nervous system.
