Galactosemia: Towards Pharmacological Chaperones. [PDF]
Galactosemia is a rare inherited metabolic disease resulting from mutations in the four genes which encode enzymes involved in the metabolism of galactose. The current therapy, the removal of galactose from the diet, is inadequate.

The natural history of classic galactosemia: lessons from the GalNet registry [PDF]
Background Classic galactosemia is a rare inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism, caused by a severe deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT).

The Metabolic Chemical Reporter Ac46AzGal Could Incorporate Intracellular Protein Modification in the Form of UDP-6AzGlc Mediated by OGT and Enzymes in the Leloir Pathway [PDF]
Galactose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide used to build complex glycans that has not been targeted for labeling as a metabolic reporter. Here, we characterize the cellular modification of proteins by using Ac46AzGal in a dose- and time-dependent ...

Galactose oxidation using 13C in healthy and galactosemic children [PDF]
Galactosemia is an inborn error of galactose metabolism that occurs mainly as the outcome of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) deficiency. The ability to assess galactose oxidation following administration of a galactose-labeled isotope (1 ...

A Delphi Survey Study to Formulate Statements on the Treatability of Inherited Metabolic Disorders to Decide on Eligibility for Newborn Screening. [PDF]
The Wilson and Jungner (W&J) and Andermann criteria are meant to help select diseases eligible for population-based screening. With the introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods for newborn screening (NBS), more inherited metabolic ...

Bi-allelic Variants in TKFC Encoding Triokinase/FMN Cyclase Are Associated with Cataracts and Multisystem Disease. [PDF]
We report an inborn error of metabolism caused by TKFC deficiency in two unrelated families. Rapid trio genome sequencing in family 1 and exome sequencing in family 2 excluded known genetic etiologies, and further variant analysis identified rare ...

Experiences with galactosemia in Croatia [PDF]
The aim of our study was to describe the characteristics of patients with classical galactosemia in Croatia, with the description of patients with galactokinase deficiency and a patient who was a double heterozygote for mutations of the galactose-1 ...
