A deletion of at least 11.5 cM in the paternal X chromosome mapping between microsatellites DXS989 and DXS1003 and encompassing the genes for ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) and dystrophin, was associated with the loss of band Xp21 in a female patient with OTC deficiency. Another four female patients were heterozygous for point mutations in the OTC gene: the nonsense mutation Q69X or the missense mutations I172F, G188V and G197R. In the OTC amino acid sequence, I172 and G197 are proximate to residues involved in catalysis, and G188 is within a loop joining helix 5 and strand 6 in the core of the ornithine-bindingdomain. Therefore, the mutations of these residues may cause structural changes affecting catalysis and/or the architecture of the ornithine domain. The mutation appeared "de novo" in the patients or, in one case, in the mother of the patient, in agreement with the predominance of "de novo" mutations in female patients of OTC deficiency. There was full agreement between the results of mutational analysis and of allopurinol testing in the patients and their female relatives, supporting the value of the allopurinol test in the detection of carriers of OTC deficiency. This deficiency is a genetically heterogeneous X-linked condition. Copyright 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

[The uric acid-lowering action of benzbromarone effervescent granules and allopurinol. Comparative studies (author's transl)]
[Article in German]
Mertz DP.
The daily administration of 25 mg effervescent granules is about equipotent with a daily dose of 200 mg allopurinol, giving due attention to the caution necessary for uricosuric therapy. The daily administration of 50 mg benzbromarone effervescent granules has a slight but significantly greater uric acid-lowering effect than treatment with 300 mg allopurinol per day. The tolerance of benzbromarone in the active form named was good in all cases. Side effects were not observed. Since benzbromarone as effervescent granules is taken with plenty of fluid this takes care of an increased fluid intake and introduces a motivation for doing so.

We have studied the pathogenesis of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) pneumonitis in immunocompetent ICR mice and in mice treated with cyclophosphamide (CP). Intranasal infection of immunocompetent mice with MCMV resulted in transient and self-limited pulmonary lesions. When mice were given 200 mg/kg of CP one day before virus infection, transient splenic atrophy and subsequent splenic hypertrophy were induced, and the lesions in the lung were markedly augmented in their number and size although there was no significant enhancement of the virus growth. The augmentation coincided with the period of splenic hypertrophy. A marked increase in the number of pulmonary lesions was also induced in mice given 100 mg/kg of CP every 4 days following the initial dose of 200 mg/kg. In these mice, however, continuous splenic atrophy and augmented replication of MCMV in the lung were observed. When the activity of xanthine oxidase (XO) in lung tissue homogenates was measured, the activity was found to significantly increase after intranasal infection with MCMV irrespective of CP administration and there was a good correlation between the elevation of XO activity and the degree of pathological changes in the lung. In addition, we found that the administration of allopurinol, a specific inhibitor of XO and superoxide dismutase, a superoxide radical scavenger, reduced the number of the pulmonary lesions. These results suggest that superoxide radicals are involved in the pathogenesis of MCMV-associated pneumonitis in ICR mice.
