Description
Inherited disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism in man lead to severe diseases. At the 2nd Muenchner Adventssymposium, the genetic basis, clinical aspects and the biochemical basis of the following diseases was discussed: Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (HGPRT-deficiency), adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (APRT-deficiency), hyperuricemia and gout, adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA-deficiency, and purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency (PNP-deficiency).
