New personalized genetic mouse model of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome for pharmacology and gene therapy [PDF]
Research Results in Pharmacology, 2018 Introduction: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a clinical and laboratory disorder caused by X-linked disruption of the purine metabolism. The deletion in the HPRT1 gene leads to the disappearance of valine in the eighth position of the protein amino acid sequence.
