BACKGROUND: Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare tyrosine metabolism disorder caused by homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD) mutations and homogentisic acid (HGA) accumulation. In this study, we investigated the genotype-phenotype relationship in AKU patients with a novel HGD gene mutation from a Chinese Hani family.
