The hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency is an inborn error of purine metabolism, linked to the X chromosome. The clinical phenotypes associated with
HPRT
deficiency varied according to the level of enzyme deficiency, with a large spectrum of neurologic features like self-injurious behaviour in patients with complete deficiency. We report a 20-year-old man who had asymmetric polyarthritis, tophi, hyperuricemia, nephrolithiasis and mild neurologic symptoms with undetectable levels of
HPRT
activity in lysed erythrocytes. The genetic study identified the c.143G>A mutation in exon 3, GAA CGT (CTT>GAA CAT
CTT
(48arg>his). The presence of gouty arthropathy and chronic hyperuricemia in a young patient with neurological symptoms, suggests
HPRT
deficiency for which it is necessary its enzyme and molecular determination.
