Abstract excerpt
We describe the molecular characterization of two mutations responsible for galactosemia, an inherited disorder of galatose metabolism that causes jaundice, cataracts, and mental retardation in humans. The coding region of galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT; UDPglucose:alpha-D-galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.12) was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction from total cDNA of a...
