Abstract excerpt
We evaluated 132 galactosemia patients for the Q188R (glutamine-188 to arginine) mutation in the human galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) gene and for GALT activity in their hemolysates by a sensitive radioisotopic method. In those without any detectable GALT activity (GG), the Q188R...
