Curing genetic defects is goal
Baylor doctors clone gene
United Press International
HOUSTON — Doctors at
Baylor College of Medicine have
cloned a gene on the X chromo
some, a feat that could be help
ful in the effort to locate carriers
and ultimately cure some dis
eases by gene replacement.
“Yes, we have cloned the
gene,” Dr. C. Thomas Caskey,
head of the genetics section at
Baylor, said Tuesday. “We feel
we’ve done something pretty
significant.”
Cloning means scientists can

make exact copies of the gene in
large quantities. Genes have
been successfully cloned in
hamsters, mice and human cell
cultures.
The particular gene that was
cloned is connected with a defi
ciency in an enzyme called hypo-
xanthine phosphoribosyltrans-
ferase or HPRT, Caskey said.
In its more severe form, a
deficiency of HPRT causes
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, in
which babies are born severely
mentally retarded and with a
tendency toward self-
mutilation. Babies afflicted with
the incurable syndrome often
bite and scratch themselves and
beat their heads with hard ob
jects.
In its milder form, the defi
ciency results in gouty arthritis
and serious kidney problems.
About 10 percent of all gouty
arthritis is the result of the defi
ciency.
The HPRT deficiency occurs
when the gene does not stimu
late the cell to produce enough
of the enzyme, which Caskey de
scribes as being essential to the
cell’s “housekeeping” functions.
The gene is thought to be
close to other genes, which when
defective, can cause hemophilia
— excessive bleeding — or men
tal retardation.
Because so little of the en
zyme is produced by the cell, it
was difficult to clone the gene,
Caskey said.
“We are working toward
being able to correct the genetic
defect,” Caskey said.
He hopes by studying the
genes and chromosomes, doc
tors will be able to identify
women who are carriers of the
diseases before they become
pregnant. Then the women
could be told of their chances of
having infants with some physic
al defects.
Caskey’s findings are being
reported in this month’s issue of
Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.
