Retrieved on 2007-04-12 so named because it codes for the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT or HGPRT, ). This enzyme is involved in the biochemical pathways the body uses to produce purines, one of the components of DNA and RNA. Defects of this enzyme lead to increased production of uric acid. Since the 'HPRT' gene is located on the X chromosome, LNS is an X-linked inherited disease.

2-Methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the 'ACADSB' gene, located on the long arm of human chromosome 10 (10q25-q26). It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means an affected individual must inherit one copy of the mutation from each parent.
