HGD_HUMAN Defects in HGD are the cause of alkaptonuria (AKU) [MIM:203500. AKU is an autosomal recessive error of metabolism characterized by an increase in the level of homogentisic acid. The clinical manifestations of AKU are urine that turns dark on standing and alkalinization, black ochronotic pigmentation of cartilage and collagenous tissues, and spine arthritis.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
