Abstract
Hereditary xanthinuria is caused by a defect of xanthine oxidase (EC. 1.2.3.2) and inherited with an autosomal recessive manner (Auscher et al., 1977; Wilson et al., 1974). It is characterized by decrease of urate and increase of xanthine and hypoxanthine in blood and urine (Holmes et al., 1983).
