Ochronosis is a disease characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid.
Alcaptonuria is a specific genetic defect that causes ochronosis.[1]
General
It is subclassified as:
- Endogenous (genetic).
- Exogenous.
The endogenous form is genetic and autosomal recessive.[2]

- Tissue with blue-grey discolourization.[3]
- Affected tissues: articular and auricular cartilage, tendons, ligaments heart valves, sclera, cornea.
- Dark urine (after exposure to sunlight).
