Abstract
The authors report the natural history of three patients with late-diagnosed Classic Galactosemia (CG) (at 16, 19 and 28 years). This was due to a combination of factors: absence of neonatal screening, absence of some typical acute neonatal symptoms, and negative galactosemia screening. This report underlines the value of neonatal screening and the importance of further diagnostic testing in case of late-onset manifestations.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports is an open access journal that publishes molecular and metabolic reports describing investigations that use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology for studies of normal and diseased states. In addition to original research articles, sequence reports, brief communication reports and letters to the editor are considered.
