Abstract excerpt
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is caused by a site-specific mutation(s) and thus, impaired the function of Homogentisate-1, 2-dioxygenase (HGD), an essential enzyme for the catabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine. Among frameshift, intronic, splice-site and missense mutations, the latter has been the most common form of genetic variations for the disease. How do the acquired...
