Classical galactosemia caused by deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is a severe autosomal recessive disorder. We report here molecular analysis of 16 unrelated Turkish galactosemia index cases without GALT activity. Almost 84 % of all mutant alleles were identified in this
Mutations in the gene for low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) lead to a disorder called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Affected individuals are characterized by increased levels of cholesterol in plasma, tendinous xanthomas, arcus lipoides corneae, and premature coronary heart disease. Up
