Glucose/galactose malabsorption caused by a defect in the Na+/glucose cotransporter.

Nature - 28 Mar 1991

Abstract excerpt

Glucose/galactose malabsorption (GGM) is an autosomal recessive disease manifesting within the first weeks of life and characterized by a selective failure to absorb dietary glucose and galactose from the intestine. The consequent severe diarrhoea and dehydration are usually fatal unless these sugars are eliminated from the diet. Intestinal biopsies of GGM patients have revealed a specific defect in...
