Abstract excerpt
The cellular pool of purines is maintained by de novo purine synthesis (DNPS), recycling and degradation. Mutations in genes encoding DNPS enzymes cause their substrates to accumulate, which has detrimental effects on cellular division and organism development, potentially leading to neurological impairments. Unspecified neurological symptoms observed in many patients could not be elucidated even by modern...
