Another characteristic is the development of arthritis in adulthood. Alkaptonuria is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. It is a disorder of tyrosine (an amino acid) metabolism resulting from a defect in the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase. Homogentisic acid is excreted in the urine and turns a brown color upon exposure to air. This is the result of a dark pigment with an ochre color (earthy red or yellow) which led to the name ochronosis. The bones and cartilage of the body can be brown colored.

Research Alkaptonuria Researchers at the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development at the NIH seek people with alkaptonuria to take part in a new study. Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disease seen in all population groups, with a slight concentration in people of Czech or Dominican descent. The disease damages several systems in the body, and is characterized by painful joints (especially hip and spine), discoloration of the ear, dark spots in the whites of the eye, and dark color of bone. There is currently no treatment or cure. Study results should improve the understanding of the disease. There is no charge to patients who take part.

Fernandez-Canon JM, Granadino B, Beltran-Valero de Bernabe D, Renedo M, Fernandez-Ruiz E, Penalva MA, Rodriguez de Cordoba S Nat Genet 1996 Sep;14(1):19-24 Alkaptonuria (AKU) occupies a unique place in the history of human genetics because it was the first disease to be interpreted as a mendelian recessive trait by Garrod in 1902. Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disorder resulting from loss of homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase (HGO) activity. Affected individuals accumulate large quantities of homogentisic acid, an intermediary product of the catabolism of tyrosine and phenylalanine, which darkens the urine and deposits in connective tissues causing a debilitating arthritis. Here we report the cloning of the human HGO gene and establish that it is the AKU gene. We show that HGO maps to the same location described for AKU, illustrate that HGO harbours missense mutations that cosegregate with the disease, and provide biochemical evidence that at least one of these missense mutations is a loss-of-function mutation. Clinical triad: dark urine, dark skin, arthritis
