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 mutation constituted 67% of the alleles. In patients with detectable GALT activity (GV), only 16% of the alleles were...
