Abstract excerpt
The Lesch-Nyhan disease is caused by an almost complete lack of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT). Partial HPRT-deficiency, associated with less severe phenotype, has also been identified. We have characterized mutations occurring in HPRT cDNA isolated from patients with HPRT-deficiency with an emphasis on examining the more unusual partial variants of HPRT-deficiency. HPRT cDNA was...
