PNP deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [1] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome (chromosome 14 is an autosome), and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency: An autosomal recessive disorder involving mutations of the purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) gene. PNP is a key enzyme in the purine salvage pathway. Impairment of this enzyme causes elevated dGTP levels resulting in T-cell toxicity and deficiency. Reticular dysgenesis
Within several years, ten more cases of immune deficiency linked to PNP mutations were described, leading to the classification of the disorder as purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency. [3] Giblett's other notable discoveries include T cell immunodeficiency.
This is a list of primary immunodeficiencies (PID), which are immune deficiencies that are not secondary to another condition.. The International Union of Immunological Societies recognizes nine classes of primary immunodeficiencies, totaling approximately 430 conditions.
If the problem is a simple factor deficiency, mixing the patient plasma 1:1 with plasma that contains 100% of the normal factor level results in a level ≥50% in the mixture (say the patient has an activity of 0%; the average of 100% + 0% = 50%). [3] The PT or PTT will be normal (the mixing study shows correction).
That day, in August 2013, Patrick got in the car and put the duffel bag on a seat. Inside was a talisman he’d been given by the treatment facility: a hardcover fourth edition of the Alcoholics Anonymous bible known as “The Big Book.”
Pyridoxine 5′-phosphate oxidase is an enzyme, encoded by the PNPO gene, [1] [2] [3] that catalyzes several reactions in the vitamin B 6 metabolism pathway. Pyridoxine 5′-phosphate oxidase catalyzes the final, rate-limiting step in vitamin B 6 metabolism, the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, the biologically active form of vitamin B 6 which acts as an essential cofactor.
