Chapter 25, Problem 51P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Biochemical defects and symptoms of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked inherited disorder. It affects about 380,000 people across the globe. Due to this uric acid gets accumulated in the blood and urine, leading to hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria. This also leads to gout and kidney problems.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited disorder that is identified as an inborn error of metabolism. It is easily detectable during the first days of life through newborn screening tests. A drop of the infant’s blood can determine the presence of the enzyme that is responsible for processing the essential amino acid phenylalanine. With normal enzyme activity, phenylalanine is converted to another amino acid (tyrosine), which is then utilized by the body to produce melanin (pigmentation in hair, skin, eyes), thyroid and other hormones. However, when the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme is absent or deficient, phenylalanine abnormally accumulates in the blood.
