leads to increased production of PRPP. Thus‚ excess purine nucleotides are being formed which leads to increased purine metabolism resulting in enhanced production of uric acid and as a consequence hyperuricemia and gout. A glucose 6- phosphatase deficiency can result in Von Gierke disease. The inability to dephosphorylate glucose 6-phosphate leads to an increased activity in the pentose phosphate pathway. Enchanced production of ribose 5 phosphate results in substrate level activation of PRPP synthase
