I just read about Dr. Michael Lesch's recent death and wondered if there was anything up on YouTube about LNS. Thank you for this piece.

ATP is needed to feel, and because these patients lose a lot of ATP when they synthesize purines from scratch, they end up with a deficient in ATP. Babies naturally bite themselves to feel their bodies, and in Lesch-Nyhan, they end up biting too hard trying to feel their fingers,lips, etc.

I'm reading that. That's why I was looking up the disease, because I just got to the part where the diagnosis was made on Hector Ramirez(the 5 year old)

Also Richard Preston wrote a book called the cobra event that has Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome in it very good book.
