  • Chapter
Purine Metabolism in Man-III

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 122A))

Abstract

Xanthinuria, a rare hereditary disorder is characterized by a deficiency of xanthine oxidase activity and by an urinary excretion of oxypurines (xanthine and hypoxanthine) which replace uric acid as the end products of purine metabolism.
