1. alcaptonuria

   Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited genetic disorder in which the body cannot process the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, which are found in protein. People with this condition have urine that turns dark when exposed to air and can develop arthritis, heart disease, or kidney stones. This is due to a buildup of a substance called homogentisic acid in the body, which can darken the skin and the whites of the eyes, and cause damage to connective tissues (osteoarthritis). It is caused by mutations in the HGD gene.
