New mutations of the HPRT gene in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Pediatric Neurology 2000 October
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder involving the purine metabolism, with resultant hyperuricemia, choreoathetosis, self-mutilation, and profound neurologic dysfunction. A deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase is responsible for the disease. The human HPRT gene is located at Xq26-27 and consists of 57 base pairs. At least 2,000 mutations throughout the HPRT gene coding region from exon 1-9 have been reported. Four patients from three Chinese families were diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome according to the clinical and laboratory findings. DNA studies revealed the first family (Patients 1 and 2) had a missense mutation in exon 3 of the HPRT encoding region. This novel mutation occurs in the hot spot of the HPRT gene. The second family (Patient 3) was found to have a missense mutation in exon 8 of the HPRT gene. The third family (Patient 4) carried a mutation in the splicing region of intron 4 of the HPRT gene. All three mutations were de novo.
