    Extractions: L'hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransférase catalyse la transformation de l'hypoxanthine en acide isonisique et de la guanine en acide guanosinique (réaction 2, ). Le PRPP sert de donneur de phosphoribosyl. La déficience de l'hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransférase entraîne une diminution de la consommation du PRPP dont les taux deviennent supérieurs à la normale. Le PRPP en excès accélère la biosynthèse purique de novo et augmente donc la production d'acide urique. Le syndrome de Lesch-Nyhan est une maladie liée au chromosome X. Les séquences du gène humain de l'HGPRT ont été transférées à la souris via la transplantation de moelle infectée par un vecteur rétroviral et par infection directe de tissu cérébral ar des vecteurs recombinant de virus herpès simplex de type I. Une lignée de souris transgénique exprimant l'enzyme humaine a aussi été établie. Plus récemment, deux souches de souris déficitaires en HGPRT ont été décrites. Aucune de ces souches n'expriment le phénotype pathologique : ces animaux ne constituent donc pas un modéle authentique de Lesch-Nyhan. Les anomalies biochimiques associées conduisant aux dramatiques conséquences neurologiques du syndrome de Lesch-Nyhan sont mal connues. Les véréifications post mortem chez des sujets atteints semblent indiquer une anomalie spécifique des voies dopaminergiques centrales, particulièrement celles des ganglions de la base et du noyau accumbens. Ces constatations sont corroborées in vivo par les études tomographiques en émission de positons (TEP) de malades présentant un déficit en HGPRT. Par cette technique, on met en évidence une anomalie du métabolisme du 2'-fluorodéoxyglucose dans les noyaux caudés chez la majorité des individus étudiés. Les liens unissant les anomalies du système nerveux dopaminergique et les aberrations du métabolisme des purines sont inconnus.

    Extractions: Internet: http://ericec.org What information do you have on Lesch-Nyhan Disease ? The following information is from the Matheny Bulletin, v3 n, special issue, Fall 1993. Matheny School and Hospital, Peapack, NJ. LND is associated with a nearly complete absence of the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRTase), which metabolizes hypoxanthine and guanine to uric acid. By four years of age many of the affected children begin to exhibit the classic manifestation of LND, self-mutilation. The behaviors seem to escalate as the child grows and becomes more physically capable of inflicting self-injury, and he becomes more cognitively capable of conceiving new methods of self-injury. The self-mutilation seen in LND is generally quite severe and can lead to the loss of lips and fingers from biting, visual loss from rubbing the eyes, and any number of other injuries. It is hypothesized that the self-mutilation is related to neurotransmitter abnormalities, in particular derangements in serotonin or dopamine metabolism. Early forms of self-injury include biting of the tongue and cheek, head banging, arm and leg banging, rubbing various body parts until raw, nose gouging, and eye gouging. In most cases some form of mechanical restraint becomes necessary to protect the individual from himself. Indeed, designing comfortable and functional restraints that do not become further instruments for self-injury is an ongoing challenge.

    Extractions: Le syndrome de Lesch-Nyhan (SLN) est une maladie génétique très rare liée à un déficit enzymatique en une protéine particulière, l'HGPRT. Le chromosome X est responsable de cette anomalie enzymatique. Les mères sont porteuses de l’anomalie qu’elles transmettent seulement aux garçons. Le SLN se manifeste entre 3 et 6 mois par une tendance à l'automutilation avec autophagie, par morsures au niveau des lèvres, de la langue et des doigts. Ces blessures restent douloureuses. Toutefois, le comportement d'automutilation n'est pas constant. Les enfants atteints ne peuvent malheureusement pas la réprimer et sont bien conscients de leur trouble. Il ne s'agit pas d'un trouble psychiatrique primitif mais d'une véritable atteinte cérébrale liée à la maladie. L’absence de ce signe très évocateur explique le retard fréquent de diagnostic. Des mouvements anormaux des bras et du visage accompagnent constamment la maladie. Il s'agit de mouvements brusques et anarchiques. Il existe également un retard de développement moteur et staturo-pondéral et un déficit mental modéré ou parfois sévère. On constate aussi une hyperuricémie qui se traduit par l'accumulation de cristaux d'acide urique dans les articulations, le système nerveux central et surtout les reins, responsables notamment de coliques néphrétiques et de crises de goutte. Des vomissements, une épilepsie, une diminution du tonus musculaire aux membres inférieurs, une irritabilité et une certaine agressivité peuvent être aussi notés.

    Extractions: La sindrome di Lesch-Nyhan English Version Home L a Sindrome di Lesch-Nyhan è un errore congenito nel metabolismo delle purine. E' causata dalla deficienza dell'enzima HPRT. L'anormalità dell'enzima risulta dalle mutazioni nel gene sul "lungo braccio" del cromosoma X. La sua espressione è generalmente completamente recessiva rendendo questa sindrome virtualmente un'esclusività maschile. Tuttavia ad un numero limitatissimo di femmine è stata recentemente diagnosticata la sindrome La diagnosi definitiva richiede un dosaggio dell'enzima negli eritrociti. E' possibile anche la diagnosi per portatrici e quella prenatale nelle famiglie con precedenti pazienti conosciuti. In Italia l’Associazione Malattie Rare " Mauro Baschirotto" di Vicenza è l’unica che si è fatta carico del compito di trovare una possibile soluzione terapeutica e che ha dato la possibilità alle famiglie di contattare esperti e finanziato una ricerca attualmente in corso.

Lesch Nyhan Syndrome is a very rare genetic metabolic disorder usually occurring only in boys but carried by females. It is caused by virtually complete deficiency of the enzyme Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyl Transferase (HPRT) which is important for purine metabolism. Affected males inherit the mutation that results in HPRT deficiency from asymptomatic females or as a result of a new mutation. A few affected females have also been reported. The infants appear normal at birth; motor delay and low muscle tone become apparent within the first few months. Dystonia and involuntary jerky movement of the body (choreoathetosis) usually develop towards the end of the first year. Dystonia is a disorder of muscle tone producing typical contractile spasms or fixed postures in the limbs or trunk, which interfere with purposeful movements and speech development. The condition may be misdiagnosed as athetoid cerebral palsy . Feeding difficulties and hiatus hernia are common. About half the children have seizures. There may be testicular damage causing small size and delayed puberty. Intellectual development is impaired but is variable, most affected individuals have moderate or severe learning difficulties, although some have low average intellectual abilities and attain age appropriate reading skills.

The cause of the disorder is complete deficiency of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activity. The self-mutilation and amputation of soft tissues and bones of the hands are observed on radiographs. Additional findings may include gouty erosions, delayed skeletal maturation, coxa valga deformities with subluxation of the hips, soft tissue

    Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Lesch – nyhan syndrome, renal manifestation, (Michael Lesch, 20th century, American paediatrician and William Nyhan, Jr., 20th century, American physician), an X-linked recessive disorder due to absence of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT). Metabolic abnormalities consequent on the lack of HGPRT result in abnormal purine metabolism and excessive uric acid production. The clinical manifestations are mostly neurologic, including choreoathetosis, spasticity, dysarthria, dystonia, cognitive impairment and self-mutilation. Lesch – Nyhan syndrome may also result in the formation of renal calculi, impairment of renal growth because of long-term hyperuricosuria and hyperuricaemia and gout Treatment of Lesch – Nyhan syndrome consists of the administration of allopurinol and alkalinization of urine with bicarbonate. Allopurinol acts by competing with hypoxanthine as a substrate for xanthine oxidase. Allopurinol becomes converted to oxypurinol.
