Popis: Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency is a disorder of purine metabolism responsible for Lesch-Nyhan Disease (LND) and its variants, HPRT-related hyperuricemia with neurologic dysfunction (HND) and HPRT-related hyperuricemia (HRH). The objective of this study was to characterize a cohort of Argentine patients with HPRT deficiency diagnosed in a single center. Results: Twenty nine patients were studied, including 12 LND, 15 HND and 2 HRH. The average onset age was 0.64 years for LND with motor delay as the main manifestation, 8.84 years for HND and 2.5 years for HRH; nephrological manifestations predominated as presenting features in these variants. The average diagnosis age was 3.58 years for LND, 17.21 years for HND and 2.5 years for HRH. Clinical heterogeneity was more evident in HND, even in members of the same family. All patients presented hyperuricemia and no detectable HPRT activity in erythrocyte lysate. The molecular study allowed to identify 9 different mutations in HPRT1 gene from 24 patients (11 independent pedigrees) and to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. In conclusion, this study describes the genotypic/phenotypic spectrum of HPRT deficiency in Argentine patients and highlights the need to increase awareness about the suspicion of these diseases, especially the LND variants with high clinical heterogeneity.
