Two adult galactosaemia females with normal ovarian function and identical GALT mutations (Q188R/R333G)
Abstract
We report two unrelated cases of adult galactosaemia females with normal ovarian function and Q188R/R333G mutations. Clinical history has been followed for 40 years. Biochemical finding in one patient are consistent with the presence of small amounts of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) activity, which differs from classical galactosaemia.
