GALACTOSE EPIMERASE DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

GALACTOSE EPIMERASE DEFICIENCY Is also known as udp-galactose-4-epimerase deficiency, gale deficiency, galactosemia iii

Description

Epimerase-deficiency galactosemia was originally described as a benign condition in which GALE impairment is restricted to circulating red and white blood cells (Gitzelmann, 1972). Fibroblasts, liver, phytohemagglutinin-stimulated leukocyes, and Epstein Barr virus-transformed lymphoblasts from these patients all demonstrated normal or near-normal levels of GALE, leading to the designation 'peripheral' (or 'isolated') epimerase deficiency. A second form of epimerase deficiency became apparent in which a patient, despite normal GALT activity, presented with symptoms reminiscent of classic galactosemia and demonstrated severely impaired GALE activity in both red blood cells and fibroblasts (Holton et al., 1981). This form was designated 'generalized' epimerase deficiency. Openo et al. (2006) demonstrated that epimerase deficiency is in fact not a binary condition but is, rather, a continuum disorder.GALE encodes the third enzyme in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism. Galactosemia I is classic galactosemia (OMIM ), caused by deficiency of the second enzyme in the Leloir pathway, galactose-1-phosphate uridylyl-transferase (GALT ). Galactosemia II (OMIM ) is caused by deficiency of the first enzyme in the Leloir pathway, galactokinase (GALK ).

Most common symptoms of GALACTOSE EPIMERASE DEFICIENCY

  • Intellectual disability
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Hearing impairment
  • Growth delay
