Presentation
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]

More severely affected patients present with neonatal seizures. Hypotonia, autistic features, and growth retardation may occur. [musculoskeletalkey.com]
Presentation [ 4 ] Most metabolic disorders present early in life although milder forms may remain undetected until adulthood. Various presentations are recognised: A neonate or infant presenting with acute metabolic encephalopathy. [patient.info]
Ears
- Low Set Ears
AICA-RIBOSIDURIA (ATIC DEFICIENCY) In a female infant with profound mental retardation, dysmorphic features (prominent forehead, brachycephaly, wide mouth, low-set ears, prominent clitoris), and blindness, the following were identified: a massive excretion [obgynkey.com]
Skin
- Blonde Hair
Individuals with PKU are unable to make melanin and are, therefore, usually blond haired and blue eyed. But PKU has more serious effects than light hair and eye color. [encyclopedia.com]
Workup
Such a medical practice appears more reasonable than a costly systematic workup. [journals.plos.org]
Urine
- Hyperuricosuria
Renal dysfunction is thought to be related to underlying hypertension and renal vascular disease, rather than to hyperuricosuria. [musculoskeletalkey.com]
Recurrent episodes of monoarticular or multiarticular arthritis Treatment: No clear treatment Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (300322) Classic form Variant form Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase HPRT (Xq26-q27.2)* Biochemical profile: Hyperuricemia, hyperuricosuria [merckmanuals.com]
This extremely rare, X-linked, gain-of-function enzyme anomaly causes hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria in young adult males, which may lead to uric acid lithiasis, gouty arthritis, and renal insufficiency. [obgynkey.com]
Treatment
No clear treatment Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (300322) Classic form Variant form Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase HPRT (Xq26-q27.2)* Biochemical profile: Hyperuricemia, hyperuricosuria Clinical features: Orange sandy crystals in diapers, growth [merckmanuals.com]
Secondary gout also may be seen during treatment with diuretics, low-dose salicylates, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and niacin or during the treatment of malignant diseases. [musculoskeletalkey.com]
Treatment is with oral uridine supplementation. [chumy.wordpress.com]
Treatment with adenine and allopurinol and with ribose have been tried with little success. [obgynkey.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Patients also have a number of cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions, etiology of which is unclear; they do not appear related to uric acid. [chumy.wordpress.com]
The biochemical etiology of gout is unknown for most of those affected, and it is considered to be a polygenic trait. [clinicalgate.com]
Conclusions and Perspectives The data reported here strongly support the view already stressed by others [20], [44] that systematic metabolic investigations are not contributive to the etiology of nonsyndromic ASD. [journals.plos.org]
GARROD'S HYPOTHESIS: It states that "all inherited diseases result from defects found in a single gene," as opposed to multifactorial etiology of diseases. [kumc.edu]
