title: Hereditary deficiency of adenine phosphoribosyl transferase.
abstract: We describe a 12 year old patient who developed acute renal failure at the age of 18 months due to radiolucent "uric acid" stones. Measurement of APRT activity showed a complete dificiency in this patient (less than 0.02%). In the urine we found instead of uric acid 2.8-dihyroxyadenine as measured by high pressure liquid chromatography. The pedigree indicates an autosomal-recessive inheritance of this disorder.
