Abstract excerpt
A patient with hyperuricaemia and gouty arthritis due to a new variant of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase is described. The mutation (I136T, HPRT Marseille) is in the phosphoribosylpyrophosphate-binding region of the gene and leads to almost total loss of enzyme activity in erythrocytes, with 5% in lymphocytes. Nevertheless, the patient showed no neurological abnormality.
