Abstract excerpt
A novel point mutation (I137T) was identified in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) encoding gene, in a patient with partial deficiency of the enzyme. The mutation, ATT to ACT (substitution of isoleucine to threonine), occurred at codon 137, which is within the region encoding the binding site for 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). The mutation caused decreased affinity for PRPP,...
