Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 with a novel mutation.
Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 [PH1] is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase AGT, which is encoded by the AGXT gene. We report an Indian family with two affected siblings having a novel mutation in the AGXT gene inherited from the parents. The index case progressed to end stage renal disease at 5 months of age. His 4 month old sibling is presently under follow up with preserved renal function.
