| IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES OF ORIGIN |
Species of Origin Confirmed by Nucleoside Phosphorylase Isoenzyme Electrophoresis |

| Gene |
GALT |
| Chromosomal Location |
9p13 |
| Allelic Variant 1 |
606999.0006; GALACTOSEMIA |
| Identified Mutation |
GLN188ARG; Reichardt et al. [Am J Hum Genet 49: 860 (1991)] demonstrated a transition at nucleotide 591 that substituted arginine for glutamine-188. The mutated glutamine is not only highly conserved in evolution, but is also 2 amino acid residues downstream from the active site histidine-proline-histidine triad. Lymphoblasts from subjects homozygous for the GLN188ARG mutation show essentially no detectable GALT activity [Fridovich-Keil and Jinks-Robertson. Proc Nat Acad Sci USA 90: 398 (1993)]. |

| Remarks |
No detectable transferase activity in erythrocytes; GALT gene mutations: [Gln188Arg (Q188R)]/[Gln188Arg (Q188R)] |
