(as defined by the National Organization for Rare Disorders Alkaptonuria is a very rare hereditary disorder that is characterized by the excretion of large volumes of dark colored urine. The darkened urine is the result of the exposure to the air (spontaneous oxidation) of homogentisic acid that accumulates in the urine. Homogentisic acid also accumulates in the body tissues. In normal functioning, the amino acid tyrosine is metabolized into homogentisic acid, and further into maleylacetoacetic acid.

Another characteristic is the development of arthritis in adulthood. Alternative Names: Alcaptonuria; Homogentisic acid oxidase deficiency; Ochronosis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.
