Detailed and relevant information. Interesting how Alkaptonuria affects the Tyrosine Catabolic Pathway but isn't grouped together under Tyrosinemia.

Great insight into the details of the disease. Really enjoyed the series of events for the 1st case study as it shed light to what exactly a patient goes through during his life. Good work!

Informative and good read!
Really agree with the fact that rare diseases like these tend to be disregarded by the society and especially medical establishment.

As rare though they may be, these diseases really cause a lot of mental distress to their patients!
