Alkaptonuria

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an autosomal latent issue, brought about by inadequacy of the homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase (HGO), a catalyst which typically catalyzes the change of homogentisic corrosive (HGA) into maleylacetoacetic corrosive, in the tyrosine corruption pathway. AKU is described by a plasmatic aggregation and in this way an expanded urinary discharge of HGA. Without HGO, HGA is quickly oxidized to benzoquinone acidic corrosive (BQA). BQA polymerizes to amelanin-like color, which aggregates in connective tissues (ochronosis). This condition prompts a serious and devastating arthropathy. The delicacy of the ligament of AKU patients prompts discontinuity of its upper layer, causing the unit of little parts (shards) with ensuing introduction of the subchondral bone. Hence patients endure joints torment and immediately engaged with a various joints replacemenT.
