Description

The GALT gene is located on chromosome 9p13.3 and encodes galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, an enzyme that plays a key role in galactose metabolism. GALT mutations are associated with decreased or absent enzymatic activity, which results in the disease galactosemia. Three common mutations are p.Gln188Arg, p.Lys285Asn, and p.Ser135Leu. Classic galactosemia presents in the newborn period with vomiting, jaundice, hypoglycemia, hepatosplenomegaly, hypotonia and sepsis. If not treated immediately by removing lactose from the diet, the disease can be associated with severe disability or death. [OMIM: 230400] Source: Regenstrief LOINC, OMIM: 230400
