OchronosisOchronosis, often called alkaptonuric ochronosis, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that causes an excess of homogentisic acid, resulting in adverse pigmentation, calcification, and inflammation of cartilagenous and related tissue throughout the body. The disorder is a result of incomplete metbolism of homogentisic acid, tyrosine and phenylalanine. The face, skeletal system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, urinary system and to a lesser degree, the skin, are affected by this disease. (From the Wikpedia article Ochronosis.)
