Abstract excerpt
The N314D polymorphism was found in two different alleles of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) gene, Duarte-1 (D1) and Duarte-2 (D2). Although both variants have identical electrophoretic mobility and isoelectro-focusing points, the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) activity varies: D1 alleles showed 110-130% of the normal RBC activity, but D2 alleles only 40-50%. We found that D1...
