Abstract excerpt
The frequency of hprt mutants in peripheral blood T-lymphocytes of two putative Lesch-Nyhan individuals and their parents was determined by a cell cloning assay to quantify the frequency of thioguanine-resistant mutants. The results confirmed the Lesch-Nyhan diagnosis and demonstrated that the mother has an elevated mutant frequency consistent with being heterozygous for an hprt mutation. Mass cultures of...
