HGDiscovery: an online tool providing functional and phenotypic information on novel variants of homogentisate 1,2- dioxigenase
2021-04-27
Abstract excerpt
Alkaptonuria (AKU), a rare genetic disorder, is characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA) in the body. Affected individuals lack enough functional levels of an enzyme required to breakdown HGA. Mutations in the HGD gene cause AKU and they are responsible for deficient levels of functional homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD), which, in turn, leads to excess levels of HGA. Although HGA is rapidly...
