| Gene |
GALK1 |
| Chromosomal Location |
17q25.1 |
| Allelic Variant 1 |
604313.0001; GALACTOKINASE DEFICIENCY WITH CATARACTS |
| Identified Mutation |
VAL32MET; In family GB in which the proband had galactokinase deficiency and congenital cataracts, Stambolian et al. (1995) found a single base substitution of A for G at position 94, which resulted in a val32-to-met substitution.
|
| Remarks |
Passage 4 at CCR; 79% of control galactokinase activity in fibroblasts; clinically unaffected father of GM00334A |
