Abstract excerpt
We report the molecular characterization of two novel galactosemia mutations that exhibit different molecular phenotypes. Both are of the missense type with low or no residual enzyme activity. The R148W mutation results in an unstable protein, although messenger RNA is still produced. In contrast...
