Abstract excerpt
We identified 14 mutations in 15 Japanese subjects from 13 families with galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) deficiency using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and direct sequence analysis. These mutations accounted for 22 (96%) of 23 mutant alleles in 15 Japanese subjects. The mutational spectrum included nine missense mutations (M142V, G179D, A199T, R231H, W249R, N314D, P325L, R333Q, and...
