Abstract excerpt
We describe a stratagem for identifying new mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene. GALT enzyme activity and isoforms were defined in erythrocytes from probands and their first-degree relatives. If the biochemical phenotypes segregated in an autosomal recessive pattern, we screened for common mutations by using multiplex PCR and restriction endonuclease digestions. If common mutant...
