The first study of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase mutations in Iranian galactosemia patients.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Classical galactosemia (McKusick 230400) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT;EC 2.7.7.10) gene. DESIGN AND METHODS:In the present study, we report molecular analysis of 14 unrelated Iranian galactosemia children with reduced or without GALT activity using PCR-RFLP and SSCP-Sequencing methods. RESULTS:Q188R mutation was the most observed mutation with the allelic frequency of 57.1%. The allelic frequencies for S135L, Y209S, A320T, and K285N were found to be 7.1%, 7.1%, 7.1%, and 3.57% respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Our results show that galactosemia is a heterogeneous disorder at the molecular level among the Iranian population.
