The hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) deficiency is an inborn error of purine metabolism, responsible for classic Lesch-Nyhan disease and its neurological and hyperuricemic variants. We report a novel mutation in the HPRT gene, c.584A > C (Y195S), in two unrelated Argentine patients affected with the neurological variant with no HPRT activity in lysed erythrocytes. Using PCR plus DNA sequencing and/or restriction enzyme digestion we were able to confirm the diagnosis and identify new cases and potential carriers.
次黄嘌呤 - 鸟嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶（HPRT）缺乏症是一种嘌呤代谢的先天性缺陷，是典型的莱施 - 奈恩病及其神经学和高尿酸血症变体的病因。我们报告了HPRT基因中的一个新突变，c.584A>C（Y195S），该突变存在于两名不相关的阿根廷患者中，他们患有神经学变体，其裂解红细胞中无HPRT活性。通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）加上DNA测序和/或限制性酶切，我们能够确诊并识别新病例和潜在携带者。
