Fifteen pregnancies at risk for Lesch-Nyhan syndrome were investigated between 8 and 17 weeks' gestation by measurement of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) and adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) enzyme activities in chorionic villus samples (cultured and uncultured) or
## Communicated by C. Thomas Caskey We have identified the mutations in the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene in five patients with the Lesch Nyhan syndrome (LN) by direct sequencing of hprt cDNA and genomic DNA. Three of the mutations affect splicing of exons 1, 2, and 9, respec
