Abstract excerpt
The ability of EB virus-transformed lymphoblasts with undetectable galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) from 15 galactosaemic patients to oxidize [1-(14)C]galactose to 14CO2 was compared to that of cells from 7 normal subjects. The oxidation of galactose but not of glucose was markedly diminished by cells from Q188R homozygous galactosaemic patients but was not absent. After 2.5 h these cells liberated...
