ArXi:2603.15711v1 Announce Type: new Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an ultra-rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the HGD (Homogentisate 1,2-Dioxygenase) gene, leading to a pathological accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA) in body fluids and tissues. This leads to systemic manifestations, including premature spondyloarthropathy, renal and prostatic stones, and cardiovascular complications. Being ultra-rare, the amount of data related to the disease is limited, both in terms of clinical data and literature.
