Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether partial irradiation of the liver
and liver cell transplantation can provide help for patients with life-threatening
liver-based metabolic diseases who are unlikely to survive without extensive medical therapy
or transplant. The goal of this research study is to determine if liver cell transplants can
be effective as an alternative to organ transplantation. At the present time, liver cell
transplants are experimental and have been done in a limited number of human subjects.
