Lesch-Nyhan syndrome affects approximately one in 380,000 live births. It occurs evenly among races. Almost always, only male children are affected, although a few cases of the disorder in girls have been reported.

With strong supportive care, infants born with Lesch-Nyhan can live into adulthood with symptoms continuing throughout life. Few live beyond 40, however, with death usually resulting either from kidney failure or from aspiration pneumonia.
