Molecular analysis of GALT gene in Argentinian population: Correlation with enzyme activity and characterization of a novel Duarte-like allele

Background: Classical galactosemia is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) gene. GALT enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of galactose-1-phosphate in various organs, causing hepatic, renal and cerebral i...
