The disease is caused by a complete deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 encoded by the gene HPRT. The clinical picture is characterized by mental retardation, spastic cerebral palsy, choreoathetosis, uric acid urinary stones, and self-destructive biting of fingers and lips.
