DUBLIN, November 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome Forecast in 17 Major Markets 2017-2027" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is a rare X-linked recessive disease caused by mutations in the HPRT1 gene encoding the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT). The disease manifests by severe hyperuricaemia resulting in motor dysfunction, intellectual disability and behavioural problems including recurrent self-injury. Many clinically relevant mutations in the HPRT1 gene have been found, suggesting that the level of residual enzyme activity is usually the key feature affecting the clinical image of the disease.

This report provides the current prevalent population for Lesch-Nyhan syndrome across 17 Major Markets (USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current prevalence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity.
