Abstract excerpt
A previously undescribed nucleotide substitution at codon 51 (CGA to TGA) has been identified using the polymerase chain reaction technique in hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) cDNA; this is the first molecular evidence for a point mutation in a Japanese patient with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. The present mutation is the 19th nucleotide substitution identified as a germ-line mutation at this locus...
