Summary
This study tests whether a purine-rich diet can lower disease markers in people with AICA-ribosiduria, a rare genetic condition causing severe disability and epilepsy. Ten participants will follow a diet with 160 mg of purines per day. Early results in one patient showed promise, but this is a very small trial.
