The biochemical and molecular basis of Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) catalyses the first step in purine salvage. A complete deficiency of the enzyme results in the devastating neurological symptoms of the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
