God! He's just always, ALWAYS, thinking of The Children! 
I'm not Sure why He chooses to Bless approximately 1-in-a-Million Infant Boys with this syndrome - but He does.
And who are we to question His Mighty Blessings?:

LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an extremely rare disease. It occurs once in a million births, and occurs naturally only in boys. It is caused by a genetic mutation. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome may be the most terrible genetic disease known.
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, which is the chromosome that every child inherits from his or her mother. Lesch-Nyhan boys lack an enzyme that breaks down a metabolic waste product, and the end result is a huge excess of uric acid in the bloodstream. The enzyme they lack is called HPRT.
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome was first identified in 1964 by Michael Lesch and William L. Nyhan. Michael Lesch was then a sophomore medical student at Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore. Bill Nyhan was his research advisor.
A boy with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome seems normal as a baby, except that the parents begin to notice what they sometimes describe as "orange sand" in the diaper. These are crystals of uric acid being passed from the kidneys. By the baby's first birthday there is something definitely wrong. The boy becomes spastic. He does not develop normal coordination. He does not learn how to crawl or walk. His limbs become stiff. The baby's body tends to assume the characteristic "fencing" posture of Lesch-Nyhan disease - one arm bent, the opposite leg bent. This is a sign of damage to nerve fibers in the midbrain. As the boy's teeth comes in, he begins chewing on his lips. He begins to eat his fingers. He concentrates his gnawing on certain parts of his body, no one knows why.
The parents can't control their child. Often doctors have trouble making a diagnosis. The boy may not be retarded. He may have normal intelligence, but it's hard to tell, because his speech is poor. He can't speak well, although his eyes are bright and alert, and he seems to be taking in the world with understanding and intelligence. The boy may pull out his fingernails with his teeth. He attacks his body. As he grows older and stronger, he attacks the people he loves, lashing out with his arms and legs, biting at them, and using obscenities. It is clear that he is capable of love, and he forms strong attachments to his caregivers, even while he is attacking them.
The pain of self-injury is excruciating for Lesch-Nyhan children. It troubles them when they attack people, yet they can't resist doing it. They cry out with pain as they chew themselves. They know what they are doing but they can't stop. They feel the pain but the biting continues, and the more it hurts the more they bite themselves. Thus the Lesch-Nyhan cycle of behavior literally feeds on itself. When they feel an episode of self-mutilation coming on, they beg to have their hands tied and their bodies restrained. The sudden appearance of a stranger in the room may make them bite themselves. They may blind themselves, tearing out their eyeballs. Self-enucleation, tearing out the eyes, is rare, but it happens.
So! I hope no one wastes their Money buying these little homers any CHRISTMAS Presents this year!
They'd probably just go and chew them all up anyway!!!
