Abstract :
Alkaptonuria is an autosomal recessively inherited inborn metabolic disorder in which there is lack of homogentisic oxidase, an enzyme that converts homogentisic acid to methylacetoacetic acid in the tyrosine degradation pathway. As a result, homogentisic acid accumulates in the body and binds to collagen in connective tissues, tendons and cartilage, imparting to these tissues a blue black pigmentation (Ochronosis) most evident in the ears, nose and cheeks.
