IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents this as APRT-related adenine phosphoribosyl transferase deficiency, with alternate label 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis and abbreviation APRTD. Treatability is marked yes.

The biochemical rows include decreased red-cell APRT activity, increased urinary 2,8-dihydroxyadenine, and increased urinary adenine. Clinical rows include hematuria, renal colic, urolithiasis, acute renal failure, and chronic renal failure.

DisMech phenotype coverage

Adenine_Phosphoribosyltransferase_Deficiency.yaml is the correct target. It models biallelic APRT loss of function, absent or reduced red-cell APRT activity, adenine conversion to 2,8-dihydroxyadenine by xanthine oxidoreductase, urinary 2,8-DHA hyperexcretion, crystalluria, urolithiasis, obstructive stone disease, hematuria, renal insufficiency, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitor therapy.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: correct mapping with high concordance.

The IEMbase and DisMech profiles agree on the proximal enzyme defect and renal crystal/stone phenotype. IEMbase is compact but matches the local pathograph well. DisMech is substantially richer for crystal nephropathy, diagnostic methods, and treatment mechanism.

Curation actions

  • Keep the mapping to Adenine_Phosphoribosyltransferase_Deficiency.yaml.
  • Consider adding a more explicit urinary adenine marker only if supported by cited evidence during future biomarker refinement.
