Abstract excerpt
Galactosemia is a human inborn error of galactose metabolism due to deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase. In this paper, I describe the molecular analysis of genomic DNA, mRNA and protein from 11 different galactosemic patients by Southern, Northern and Western blotting. The results of these experiments lead me to conclude that galactosemia is caused mostly by missense mutations. The unusual...
