Abstract: The hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) deficiency is an inborn error of purine metabolism, responsible for classic Lesch-Nyhan disease and its neurological and hyperuricemic variants. We report a novel mutation in the HPRT gene, c.584A > C (Y195S), in two unrelated Argentine patients affected with the neurological variant with no HPRT activity in lysed erythrocytes. Using PCR plus DNA sequencing and/or restriction enzyme digestion we were able to confirm the diagnosis and identify new cases and potential carriers.
