A new case—the ninth—of documented xanthinuria is reported. The patient has no symptoms attributable to xanthine oxidase deficiency. Xanthinuria was detected after discovery of hypouricemia on chemical profile screening of serum. Twenty-four hour urine, with the patient on a low purine diet, showed mean values of 2.9 mg uric acid, 287 mg xanthine and 76 mg hypoxanthine. Urinary excretion of orotic acid and orotidine was normal.
