RESULTS Erythrocyte HPRT activity ranged from 0.14 to less than 0.01 nmol/h per mg Hb (normal HPRT activity, 87.0+ 16.5 nmol/h per mg Hb) in patients with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. In patients with Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome, HPRT activity ranged from 0.28 to less than 0.01 nmol/h per mg Hb. In contrast, erythrocyte APRT activity was found to be increased in all patients (range 45-141 nmol/per mg Hb; normal APRT activity, 28.1+ 6.9 nmol/h per mg Hb) with no significant differences between patients with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and those with Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome. Plasma hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid concentrations were markedly elevated in patients with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome as compared to normal subjects and patients with primary gout (Table 1). Plasma purines were similarly increased in both HPRT-deficient groups. Mean urinary hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid concentrations were 4-fold to 10-fold increased in patients with HPRT deficiency with respect to control values and patients with primary gout (p< 0.01). Urinary purines were similarly elevated in patients with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome. The renal excretion of hypoxanthine and uric acid showed a negative correlation with the age of HPRT-deficient patients (r= 0.569 and r= 0.610, respectively; p< 0.01). Urinary radioactivity following [8-14C] adenine infusion was (mean+ SD) 18.9+ 4.6% of the administered radioactive dose in the enzyme-deficient patients and 5.0 _+ 1.3% in 10
