Genetics Home Reference: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a condition characterized by the overproduction and accumulation of uric acid, a waste product of normal chemical processes that is found in blood and urine. The overproduction of uric acid can cause gouty arthritis (arthritis caused by an accumulation of uric acid in the joints), kidney stones, and bladder stones. Problems with the nervous system and behavioral disturbances are also characteristic of this disorder. Abnormal involuntary muscle movements such as flexing, jerking, and flailing are often displayed by people affected with this disorder. People with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome usually cannot walk, require assistance sitting, and are generally wheelchair-bound. Self-injury, including biting and head banging, is the most common and distinctive behavioral problem in those with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.17
MalaCards: Lesch-nyhan Syndrome, also known as complete hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency, is related to hyperuricemia and phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase superactivity. An important gene associated with Lesch-nyhan Syndrome is HPRT1 (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1), and among its related pathways are Purine catabolism and ATP/ITP metabolism. The drugs mannitol hexanitrate and rasburicase and the compounds Alpha-Phosphoribosylpyrophosphoric Acid and 9-deazaguanine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, kidney and t cells. NIH Rare Diseases: Lesch Nyhan syndrome is an inherited condition caused by the build-up of uric acid. Excess uric acid can cause sodium urate crystals to form in the joints, kidneys, central nervous system, and other tissues of the body. Symptoms may include arthritis, poor muscle control, moderate cognitive disabilities, severe kidney problems, and self-mutilating behaviors. Lesch Nyhan syndrome is caused by mutations in the HPRT1 gene. It is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Treatment is based on the symptoms.30 NINDS: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is a rare, inherited disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme (HPRT. LNS is an X-linked recessive disease-- the gene is carried by the mother and passed on to her son.31 Wikipedia: Lesch–Nyhan syndrome (LNS), also known as Nyhan\'s syndrome, Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome and Juvenile...44 more...
