Presentation transcript:

Is it more common in males or females?  Lesch Nyhan this a rare gene mutation that is usually carried by the mother and is passed on to the son. LNS is present in baby boys when they are born.  The cases of LNS arise from new mutations and do not have any family history from it.

Is it Sex linked or Autosomal..Domintant or Recessive  Lesch Nyhan Syndrome is a sex linked mutation.  And it is Recessive disease.

Interesting Facts  One of the first symptoms of the disease is the presence of sand-like crystals of uric acid in the diapers of the affected infant.  The males can be affected from it by delayed growth and puberty.

How Often does it Occur  This mutation is rare and it can appear without having family history. It can only be passed to the son from the mother

Symptoms  Some of the symptoms are that the people who have it they bite on their fingers.  They also have kidney problems
