Abstract excerpt
Classical galactosemia caused by deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is a severe autosomal recessive disorder. We report here molecular analysis of 16 unrelated Turkish galactosemia index cases without GALT activity. Almost 84% of all mutant alleles were identified in this study. The most common molecular defect observed in the Turkish population was Q188R (replacement of glutamine-188 by...
