title: HPRT deficiency in a two-month-old child presenting acute renal failure and gout with a new deletion of two bases in exon 3 of the HPRT gene.
abstract: We describe an HPRT deficiency in a 2-month-old child who presented acute renal failure and gout with normal mental and motor development for age. The patient was diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan disease and showed a new mutation, a deletion of two bases in exon 3 of the HPRT gene (c.269-270delAT).
