Low allelic heterogeneity in a sample of Mexican patients with classical galactosaemia.

Abstract excerpt

Classical galactosaemia is an autosomal recessive disease of galactose metabolism caused by a deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT). Galactosaemia is not included in the neonatal screening programme in Mexico and it is necessary to implement methodologies for prompt diagnosis of these patients to establish treatment. To date, more than 190 mutations in the GALT gene have been...
