Abstract excerpt
Impaired activity of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) causes classic galactosemia (OMIM 230400), characterized by the accumulation of galactose-1-phosphate (GAL1P) in patients' red blood cells (RBCs). Our recent study demonstrated a correlation between RBC GAL1P and long-term outcomes in galactosemia patients. Here, we analyze biochemical and molecular results in 77 classic galactosemia patients to...
