title: Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase deficiency presenting with gout and renal failure in infancy.
abstract: A month old infant had gout and renal failure caused by hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRTase) deficiency. Investigations showed a high uric acid value, crystal nephropathy on ultrasound, and uric acid deposition on renal biopsy. The HGPRTase value was low in red cells and fibroblasts.
