Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) APRT deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that can lead to accumulation of the insoluble purine 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) in the kidney, which results in crystalluria and the formation of urinary stones. Clinical features include renal colic, hematuria, urinary ...
Diagnosis OMIM Maddocks and Al-Safi (1988) used identification of adenine in the urine by thin-layer chromatography to diagnose APRT deficiency.

Simmonds et al. (1992) pointed out that patients who are mistakenly diagnosed as having uric acid lithiasis will be ...

Clinical Description OMIM Mutant forms of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase were described by Kelley et al. (1968) and by Henderson et al. (1969) who found the inheritance to be autosomal. The heat-stable enzyme allele has a frequency of about 15% and the heat-labile enzyme ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In a lymphoblastoid cell line from a Caucasian patient in Belgium with complete APRT deficiency, Hidaka et al. (1987) identified compound heterozygosity for 2 mutations in the APRT gene (102600.0001 and 102600.0002). Gathof et al. (1991) identified homozygosity for ...
Population genetics OMIM Kamatani et al. (1992) stated that about 70 Japanese families with homozygous APRT deficiency have been reported, whereas the number of reported non-Japanese families is about 36. The estimated gene frequency among Japanese is about 1.2%. Kamatani et al. ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of APRT deficiency (also known as 2,8-dihydroxyadeninuria) [Edvardsson et al 2001, Bollee et al 2010, Nasr et al 2010] should be considered in:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Kidney stones are by far the most common clinical manifestation of APRT deficiency in both children and adults [Edvardsson et al 2001, Harambat et al 2012]; chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the second most common manifestation in adults [Edvardsson et al 2001, Harambat et al 2012]. Acute kidney injury due to bilateral DHA calculi and urinary tract obstruction is a well-recognized presentation in children [Debray et al 1976, Greenwood et al 1982, Chiba et al 1988, Edvardsson et al 2001]....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews No genotype-phenotype correlations have been established; clinical features are known to vary greatly between individuals with the same mutation [Edvardsson et al 2001, Bollee et al 2010]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Differential diagnosis of APRT deficiency includes other known causes of radiolucent kidney stones such as xanthinuria and uric acid nephrolithiasis....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease and needs of an individual diagnosed with APRT deficiency, the following evaluations are recommended:...
