Abstract excerpt
Classic Galactosemia (OMIM 230400) is an autosomal recessive disorder of galactose metabolism caused by mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene. This disease caused by the inability to metabolize galactose is potentially life-threatening but its pathophysiology has not been clearly defined. GALT gene presents high allelic heterogeneity and around 336 variations have been identified....
