This is responsible for the degradation of homogentisic acid (HGA) to maleylacetoacetic acid via the degradation of tyrosine. It occurs at a frequency of about 1 in 250,000 to 1 in 1,000,000. It is autosomal recessive in inheritance, and is a classical example of an inborn error of metabolism. | | | | |  New research indicates that young recreational and elite athletes commonly accumulate excess fluid in the bone marrow around the joint that connects the spine with the pelvis. | | | | |  Researchers have discovered that macrophages, which play a key role in inflammation, also produce an anti-inflammatory molecule called itaconate. | |
