Abstract:
:A single male subject with hyperuricosuric autism was treated for a period of 2 years with an oral dose of uridine, which increased from 50 to 500 mg/kg/day. This patient experienced dramatic social, cognitive, language, and motor improvements. These improvement decreased within 72 h of the discontinuation of uridine, but reappeared when uridine supplementation was resumed. Thus, it appears that patients with hyperuricosuric autism benefit from metabolic therapy with oral uridine therapy in a manner similar to that seen in other disorders of purine metabolism in which there is autistic symptomatology.
