Abstract excerpt
Lesch-Nyhan disease and its attenuated variants are caused by mutations in the HPRT1 gene, which encodes the purine recycling enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.

Prior efforts to correlate variations in the clinical phenotype with different mutations have suggested that milder phenotypes typically are...
