Cover Story: Persistent or recurrent green urine is extraordinarily rare in mammals and signifies biliverdinuria. This study characterizes the clinical and metabolic phenotypes of two dogs with life-long green urine and reports the discovery of large exonic deletions in the biliverdin reductase A gene, BLVRA. These are the first confirmed cases of biliverdinuria caused by BLVRA defects in non-human mammals. The data contribute greatly to our understanding of an extremely rare inborn error of metabolism in heme catabolism and might help with the recognition, diagnosis, and management of future cases of hereditary biliverdinuria across species.
