Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency is a disorder in which 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA) crystalluria is caused by a congenital deficiency in the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT). In most cases, APRT deficiency is caused by autosomal recessive inheritance of a homozygote of the mutant gene APRT*Q0 or APRT*J, but there are also some cases in which the disorder is caused by the compound heterozygote APRT*Q0 and APRT*J. In the patients described here, brown round crystals were found in their urinary sediment. Crystalluria was the first sign of APRT deficiency, thereafter confirmed by genetic screening for APRT*/Q0 and APRT*. We performed genetic screening for APRT*Q0 and APRT*J in two families and diagnosed three cases of APRT*Q0 /APRT*J compound heterozygote-type APRT deficiency. Genetic screening for APRT*Q0 and APRT*J of family members is effective for early diagnosis and early treatment for family members.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
