Defects in the gene product can result in a wide variety of diseases such as Acidosis, Gout, Neoplasms, Sarcoma, Leukemia and Lymphoma<ref>PMID:7438071</ref>. A variety of enzymes are found to be improperly balanced in cancer cells, including AdSS which is found to be over expressed 5.5 times as much as it would normally be.<ref>PMID: 6861338</ref> | Defects in the gene product can result in a wide variety of diseases such as Acidosis, Gout, Neoplasms, Sarcoma, Leukemia and Lymphoma<ref>PMID:7438071</ref>. Since AdSS plays a crucial role in purine catalysis, it is a choice target for anti tumor drugs and antibiotics.
