Increased urinary excretion of xanthine, hypoxanthine, sulphite, thiosulphate and decreased serum uric acid were observed in an infant with profound failure to thrive. Other clinical findings included refractory seizures, spastic quadriplegia and profound psychomotor retardation. The patient died at 20 months of age. There were no detectable activities for
xanthine oxidase
and sulphite oxidase in the postmortem liver.
Urothione
, which is the metabolic excretory product of the molybdenum cofactor for molybdoenzymes was not present in the urine. A deficiency of the molybdenum cofactor which is common to both xanthine and sulphite oxidase is presumed to be the metabolic defect responsible for the absent activities of both enzymes.
