Lesch–Nyhan Disease
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Lesch–Nyhan disease is caused by an inherited deficiency of the purine salvage enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. Affected individuals display hyperuricemia and specific neurobehavioral features, including a hyperkinetic movement disorder, behavioral disturbances and self‐injurious behavior, which are thought to be attributable to dysfunction of the basal ganglia dopamine system.
