Abstract The disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism are unusual in their variety of clinical presentations and in the mechanisms by which these presentations result from the fundamental mutations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The presentation is most commonly monoarticular, typically in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. [clinicalgate.com]

The biochemical etiology of gout is unknown for most of those affected, and it is considered to be a polygenic trait. [clinicalgate.com]

Etiology The disease is due to overactivity of ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase 1 (PRS-I), an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of PRPP, a cofactor involved in the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. [orpha.net]
